Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option A

-14 - 14 182

Solution :

The correct option is:
-14 - 14 182

Step-by-Step Derivation:

We are given the trigonometric equation:
14 sin Y + cos Y = 14 sin Y
To find the value of tanY, we can start by gathering all the terms containing sinY on one side of the equation.

Subtract 14sinY from both sides:
cos Y = 14 sin Y - 14 sin Y

Factor out sinY on the right-hand side:
cos Y = ( 14 - 14 ) sin Y

Since tanY=sinYcosY, we divide both sides by cosY (assuming cosY0):
1 = ( 14 - 14 ) tan Y

Now, solve for tanY:
tan Y = 1 14 - 14

To simplify this expression and match the given options, we rationalize the denominator by multiplying the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator, which is 14+14:
tan Y = 1 · ( 14 + 14 ) ( 14 - 14 ) ( 14 + 14 )

Using the difference of squares formula, (a-b)(a+b)=a2-b2, in the denominator:
tan Y = 14 + 14 ( 14 ) 2 - 14 2

Simplify the terms:
tan Y = 14 + 14 14 - 196

Calculate the denominator:
14 - 196 = - 182

Substitute this back into the equation:
tan Y = 14 + 14 - 182

To make the denominator positive, we multiply both the numerator and the denominator by -1:
tan Y = - 14 - 14 182

This matches the correct option exactly.
