Correct Answer :

Option D

-5 - 2 23

- 5 - 2 23

Solution :

To find the value of tanY, we start with the given trigonometric equation:

5 sin Y + cos Y = 2 sin Y

We divide both sides of the equation by cosY (assuming cosY0):

5 sin Y cos Y + cos Y cos Y = 2 sin Y cos Y

Using the identity tanY=sinYcosY, we can rewrite the equation as:

5 tan Y + 1 = 2 tan Y

Rearranging the equation to group the tanY terms on one side:

1 = 2 tan Y - 5 tan Y

Factor out tanY from the right-hand side:

1 = ( 2 - 5 ) tan Y

Solve for tanY:

tan Y = 1 2 - 5

To rationalize the denominator, multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator, which is 2+5:

tan Y = 1 2 - 5 · 2 + 5 2 + 5

Simplify the denominator using the difference of squares formula, (a-b)(a+b)=a2-b2:

tan Y = 2 + 5 ( 2 ) 2 - 5 2

tan Y = 2 + 5 2- 25

tan Y = 2 + 5 - 23

We can rewrite this fraction by moving the negative sign to the numerator:

tan Y = - 5 - 2 23
