Question

Find the exact value of tan(theta) for an angle (theta) with sec(theta) = 3 and with its terminal side in Quadrant I.

Answer 1

Answer:

c

Step-by-step explanation:

1 + tan²theta = sec²theta

tan²theta = 3² - 1

tan²theta = 8

tan theta = sqrt(8)

Positive because Quadrant 1

sqrt(8) = sqrt(4×2) = sqrt(4)×sqrt(2)

= 2×sqrt(2)
