Question
If 2sin2θ – cos2θ = 2, then find the value of θ.
Solution
Given,
2sin2θ – cos2θ = 2
⇒ 2sin2θ – (1 – sin2θ) = 2 ...[∵ sin2θ + cos2θ = 1]
⇒ 2sin2θ + sin2θ – 1 = 2
⇒ 3sin2θ = 3
⇒ sin2θ = 1
⇒ sinθ = 1 = sin 90° ...[∵ sin 90° = 1]
∴ θ = 90°

∴ 1 + tan2 θ = `(25/7)^square`
∴ tan2 θ = `625/49 - square`
= `(625 - 49)/49`
= `square/49`
