The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem where \( \csc \theta = 2 \) and we need to find the value of \( \tan \theta \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the relationship between cosecant and sine We know that: \[ \csc \theta = \frac{1}{\sin \theta} \] Given that \( \csc \theta = 2 \), we can find \( \sin \theta \): \[ \sin \theta = \frac{1}{\csc \theta} = \frac{1}{2} \] ### Step 2: Use the Pythagorean identity We can use the Pythagorean identity: \[ \sin^2 \theta + \cos^2 \theta = 1 \] Substituting \( \sin \theta \): \[ \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^2 + \cos^2 \theta = 1 \] This simplifies to: \[ \frac{1}{4} + \cos^2 \theta = 1 \] ### Step 3: Solve for \( \cos^2 \theta \) Rearranging the equation gives: \[ \cos^2 \theta = 1 - \frac{1}{4} = \frac{3}{4} \] Taking the square root gives: \[ \cos \theta = \sqrt{\frac{3}{4}} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \quad \text{(considering the principal value)} \] ### Step 4: Find \( \tan \theta \) Now, we can find \( \tan \theta \) using the definition: \[ \tan \theta = \frac{\sin \theta}{\cos \theta} \] Substituting the values we found: \[ \tan \theta = \frac{\frac{1}{2}}{\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \] ### Final Answer Thus, the value of \( \tan \theta \) is: \[ \tan \theta = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \]
