If \(\sec\theta = \dfrac{25}{7}\), find the value of \(\tan\theta\).Solution :1 + tan2 θ = ____∴ 1 + tan2 θ = ____2∴ tan2 θ = \(\dfrac{625}{49}\) – ____= \(\dfrac{625 - 49}{49}\)∴ tan2 θ = \(\dfrac{576}{49}\)∴ tan θ = ____

Q.2 (A)(2) If \(\sec\theta = \dfrac{25}{7}\), find the value of \(\tan\theta\).

Solution :

1 + tan2 θ = ____
∴ 1 + tan2 θ = ____2
∴ tan2 θ = \(\dfrac{625}{49}\) – ____
= \(\dfrac{625 - 49}{49}\)
∴ tan2 θ = \(\dfrac{576}{49}\)
∴ tan θ = ____

Best answer

Answer: tan θ = \(\dfrac{24}{7}\)

1 + tan2 θ = sec2 θ = \(\left(\dfrac{25}{7}\right)^2 = \dfrac{625}{49}\).

∴ tan2 θ = \(\dfrac{625}{49} - 1 = \dfrac{625 - 49}{49} = \dfrac{576}{49}\).

∴ tan θ = \(\dfrac{24}{7}\).

Blanks in order: sec2 θ, \(\dfrac{25}{7}\), 1, \(\dfrac{24}{7}\).
