Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option A

3√15 -4

3√15 -4

Solution :

To find the value of 2tanθ+4sinθsecθ, we must first solve the given trigonometric equation for θ in the interval 0°<θ<90°:

4sin2θ=3(1+cosθ)

Using the fundamental trigonometric identity sin2θ=1cos2θ, we can substitute this into the equation to express everything in terms of cosθ:
4(1cos2θ)=3(1+cosθ)

Expand and rewrite the equation:
44cos2θ=3+3cosθ

Rearranging all terms to one side gives a quadratic equation in terms of cosθ:
4cos2θ+3cosθ1=0

We can factor this quadratic equation by splitting the middle term:
4cos2θ+4cosθcosθ1=0
4cosθ(cosθ+1)1(cosθ+1)=0
(4cosθ1)(cosθ+1)=0

This yields two possible values for cosθ:
1) cosθ=1
2) cosθ=14

Since we are given that 0°<θ<90°, the cosine of θ must be positive (first quadrant). Therefore, we discard cosθ=1 and accept:
cosθ=14

Using cosθ=AdjacentHypotenuse=14, we can determine the opposite side using the Pythagorean theorem:
Opposite=4212=161=15

Now, we find the values of the required trigonometric functions:
sinθ=154
tanθ=151=15
secθ=41=4

Substitute these values into the target expression 2tanθ+4sinθsecθ:
2(15)+41544
=215+154
=3154

Thus, the final value of the expression is 3154.
