The correct Answer is:
To solve the equation \( \sec \theta + \tan \theta = 2 + \sqrt{5} \) and find \( \sin \theta \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Rewrite the equation using trigonometric identities We know that: \[ \sec \theta = \frac{1}{\cos \theta} \quad \text{and} \quad \tan \theta = \frac{\sin \theta}{\cos \theta} \] Thus, we can rewrite the equation as: \[ \frac{1}{\cos \theta} + \frac{\sin \theta}{\cos \theta} = 2 + \sqrt{5} \] This simplifies to: \[ \frac{1 + \sin \theta}{\cos \theta} = 2 + \sqrt{5} \] ### Step 2: Cross-multiply to eliminate the fraction Cross-multiplying gives: \[ 1 + \sin \theta = (2 + \sqrt{5}) \cos \theta \] ### Step 3: Square both sides to eliminate the square root To eliminate the square root, we can square both sides: \[ (1 + \sin \theta)^2 = ((2 + \sqrt{5}) \cos \theta)^2 \] Expanding both sides: \[ 1 + 2\sin \theta + \sin^2 \theta = (2 + \sqrt{5})^2 \cos^2 \theta \] Calculating \( (2 + \sqrt{5})^2 \): \[ (2 + \sqrt{5})^2 = 4 + 4\sqrt{5} + 5 = 9 + 4\sqrt{5} \] Thus, we have: \[ 1 + 2\sin \theta + \sin^2 \theta = (9 + 4\sqrt{5}) \cos^2 \theta \] ### Step 4: Use the identity \( \sin^2 \theta + \cos^2 \theta = 1 \) Substituting \( \cos^2 \theta = 1 - \sin^2 \theta \): \[ 1 + 2\sin \theta + \sin^2 \theta = (9 + 4\sqrt{5})(1 - \sin^2 \theta) \] Expanding the right side: \[ 1 + 2\sin \theta + \sin^2 \theta = (9 + 4\sqrt{5}) - (9 + 4\sqrt{5})\sin^2 \theta \] ### Step 5: Rearranging the equation Rearranging gives: \[ \sin^2 \theta + (9 + 4\sqrt{5})\sin^2 \theta + 2\sin \theta + 1 - (9 + 4\sqrt{5}) = 0 \] Combining like terms: \[ (1 + 9 + 4\sqrt{5})\sin^2 \theta + 2\sin \theta + (1 - 9 - 4\sqrt{5}) = 0 \] This simplifies to: \[ (10 + 4\sqrt{5})\sin^2 \theta + 2\sin \theta - (8 + 4\sqrt{5}) = 0 \] ### Step 6: Solve the quadratic equation Using the quadratic formula \( \sin \theta = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a} \): Here, \( a = 10 + 4\sqrt{5} \), \( b = 2 \), and \( c = -(8 + 4\sqrt{5}) \). Calculating the discriminant: \[ b^2 - 4ac = 2^2 - 4(10 + 4\sqrt{5})(-8 - 4\sqrt{5}) \] Solving this will yield the values of \( \sin \theta \). ### Step 7: Find \( \sin \theta \) After solving the quadratic, we can find the value of \( \sin \theta \). ### Final Answer The value of \( \sin \theta \) will be \( \frac{2}{\sqrt{5}} \).
