When the skin is exposed to ultraviolet rays, the skin produces a molecule that is turned into Vitamin D.

Sun is the source of ultraviolet rays important for Vitamin D production. Due to this reason, in the case of Vitamin D deficiency, it is recommended by doctor's to absorb sunlight by skin. The Vitamin D production occurs specifically by UV B rays rays which lie in the range of 290-315 nanometer.

The chemical 7-dehydrocholesterol absorbs these rays and convert to previtamin D3. Further, previtamin D3 isomerizes to Vitamin D. Other than sunlight, Vitamin D can be taken through diet. The sources include seafood like fish, fish oil, dairy products, beef liver etc. Vitamin D is required for bone and teeth formation, muscle contraction, immune system etc.

Explanation:

Given expression:

3sinx = 2tanx​

Find:

Simplify expression......

Computation:

By taking given trigonometric equation

⇒ 3sinx = 2tanx​

Using substitution method...

⇒ sinx = [2/3]tax

⇒ sinx / tanx = 2/3

⇒ sinx / [sinx / cosx] = 2/3

⇒ [sinx × cosx] / sinx = 2/3

⇒ cosx = 2/3

Simplify expression

Cos x = 2/3
