If cosθ=915...
Question
If
cos
θ
=
9
15
then find
tan
θ
Open in App
Solution
cos
θ
=
9
15
is positive.
∴
θ
lies in the first or fourth quadrant.
⇒
cos
2
θ
=
81
225
We know that,
cos
2
θ
=
1
sec
2
θ
⇒
sec
2
θ
=
225
81
Subtracting
1
on both sides
⇒
sec
2
θ
−
1
=
225
81
−
1
We know that,
1
+
tan
2
θ
=
sec
2
θ
⇒
tan
2
θ
=
225
−
81
81
=
144
81
since
tan
θ
is negative in fourth quadrant and positive in first quadrant.
⇒
tan
θ
=
±
