Fair calculation

Cosx is always less than or equal to 1.

Cos60 = ½

sin2θ = 1 – cos2θ

 

Given

2sin2θ + 5cosθ – 4 = 0

 

 

 

2sin2θ + 5cosθ – 4 = 0

⇒2(1 – cos2θ) + 5cosθ – 4 = 0

⇒2cos2θ – 5cosθ + 2 = 0

⇒2cos2θ - 4cosθ - cosθ + 2 = 0

⇒2cosθ(cosθ – 2) – 1(cosθ – 2)

⇒(2cosθ – 1) (cosθ – 2) = 0

⇒cosθ = 2, ½

But cosθ can’t be equal 2

Hence, Cosθ = ½

θ = 60

Now,

tanθ + sinθ = √3 + √3/2

= 3√3/2

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

√3 + √3/2

= (2√3 + √3)/2

= 3√3/2
