If 2 cos2θ = 3sin, 0º < θ < 90º, then the value of (sec2 θ - tan2 θ + cos2θ ) is :
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e.
2cos2θ = 3sinθ
⇒ 2(1 – sin2θ) = 3sinθ = 0
⇒ 2 – 2sin2θ = 3sinθ = 0
⇒ 2sin2θ + 3sinθ – 2 = 0
⇒ 2sin2θ + 4sinθ – sinθ – 2 = 0
⇒ 2sinθ(sinθ + 2) – (sinθ + 2) = 0
⇒ (sinθ + 2) (2sinθ – 1) = 0
⇒ (sinθ + 2) = 0 (2sinθ – 1) = 0
⇒ sinθ = - 2 and sinθ = 1/2
Putting the value of θ = 30°
According to the question
(sec2θ - tan2θ + cos2θ)
⇒ 1 + cos2θ
⇒ 1 + 3/4
⇒ 7/4
