If sin, then the value of tan is:
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. .
Given that
If ,
Sin = Perpendicular/Hypontaneous = 2xy/(x2 + y2)
Formula used
By using Pythagoras' theorem
a² + b² = c²
where, a = base, b = perpendicular, c = Hypontaneous
(x2 + y2)2 = (2xy)2 + a2
⇒ a2 = x4 + y4 + 2x2 y2 - 4x2 y2
⇒ a2 = x4 + y4 - 2x2 y2 = (x2 - y2)2
⇒ a = (x2 - y2)
Hence, tan = Perpendicular/Base = 2xy/(x2 - y2)
