If 4sin2θ = 3(1 + cosθ ), 0° < θ < 90° Then what is the value of √15tanθ + sinθ + 2secθ ?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 24.
Sin2θ + cos2θ = 1
Hence, 4(1 - cos2θ) = 3(1 + cosθ)
⇒ 4(1 + cosθ)(1 - cosθ) = 3(1 + cosθ)
⇒ = 1 - cosθ
⇒ cosθ =
Hence, sinθ =
⇒ Secθ = 4
⇒ Tanθ = √15
Substituing the values we get
√15tanθ + sinθ + 2secθ = 15 + 1 + 8 = 24
