Question

Tan theta is equal to 2- cos theta find the value of sin theta​

Answer 1

Answer:

sqrt(2)/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given tan(x)=2-cot(x), find sin(x).

Rewrite in terms of sine and cosine:

sin(x)/cos(x)=2-cos(x)/sin(x)

Multiply both sides by cos(x)sin(x):

sin^2(x)=2sin(x)cos(x)-cos^2(x)

Rewrite cos^2(x) using the identity sin^2(x)+cos^2(x)=1:

sin^2(x)=2sin(x)cos(x)-(1-sin^2(x))

Distribute:

sin^2(x)=2sin(x)cos(x)-1+sin^2(x)

Subtracting sin^2(x) on both sides:

0=2sin(x)cos(x)-1

Add 1 on both sides:

1=2sin(x)cos(x)

Use identity sin(2x)=2sin(x)cos(x) to rewrite right:

1=sin(2x)

Since sin(pi/2)=1, then 2x=pi/2.

Dividing both sides by 2 gives x=pi/4.

So sin(pi/4)=sqrt(2)/2
