Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option B

-6 - 5 31

Solution :

The correct option is:
-6 - 5 31

Let's find the value of tanY step-by-step from the given equation:
6sinY+cosY=5sinY

Step 1: Divide the entire equation by cosY
To express the equation in terms of tanY, we can divide each term by cosY (assuming cosY0):
6sinY<...>+cosYcosY=5sinYcosY

Since sinYcosY=tanY, the equation simplifies to:
6tanY+1=5tanY

Step 2: Isolate the terms containing tanY
Rearrange the terms to bring all terms with tanY to one side of the equation:
1=5tanY-6tanY

Factor out tanY on the right-hand side:
1=(5-6)tanY

Solve for tanY:
tanY=15-6

Step 3: Rationalize the denominator
To express the answer in standard form, multiply both the numerator and the denominator by the conjugate of the denominator, which is 5+6:
tanY=15-6·5+65+6

Using the difference of squares identity, (a-b)(a+b)=a2-b2, the denominator becomes:
(5)2-62=5-36=-31

Thus, we have:
tanY=5+6-31

Move the negative sign to the numerator to match the options:
tanY=-(6+5)31=-6-531
