The correct Answer is:
To solve the equation \(4 \sin \theta = 3 \cos \theta\) and find the value of \(\sin \theta\), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Rewrite the equation We start with the given equation: \[ 4 \sin \theta = 3 \cos \theta \] ### Step 2: Isolate \(\tan \theta\) We can divide both sides by \(\cos \theta\) (assuming \(\cos \theta \neq 0\)): \[ \frac{4 \sin \theta}{\cos \theta} = 3 \] This simplifies to: \[ 4 \tan \theta = 3 \] Now, we can isolate \(\tan \theta\): \[ \tan \theta = \frac{3}{4} \] ### Step 3: Use the Pythagorean identity We know that: \[ \sec^2 \theta = 1 + \tan^2 \theta \] Substituting \(\tan \theta = \frac{3}{4}\): \[ \sec^2 \theta = 1 + \left(\frac{3}{4}\right)^2 \] Calculating \(\left(\frac{3}{4}\right)^2\): \[ \sec^2 \theta = 1 + \frac{9}{16} = \frac{16}{16} + \frac{9}{16} = \frac{25}{16} \] ### Step 4: Find \(\sec \theta\) Taking the square root: \[ \sec \theta = \sqrt{\frac{25}{16}} = \frac{5}{4} \] ### Step 5: Find \(\cos \theta\) Since \(\sec \theta = \frac{1}{\cos \theta}\), we can find \(\cos \theta\): \[ \cos \theta = \frac{1}{\sec \theta} = \frac{1}{\frac{5}{4}} = \frac{4}{5} \] ### Step 6: Substitute back to find \(\sin \theta\) Now we can substitute \(\cos \theta\) back into the original equation: \[ 4 \sin \theta = 3 \cos \theta \] Substituting \(\cos \theta = \frac{4}{5}\): \[ 4 \sin \theta = 3 \times \frac{4}{5} \] Calculating the right side: \[ 4 \sin \theta = \frac{12}{5} \] Now, divide both sides by 4: \[ \sin \theta = \frac{12}{5} \times \frac{1}{4} = \frac{12}{20} = \frac{3}{5} \] ### Final Answer: Thus, the value of \(\sin \theta\) is: \[ \sin \theta = \frac{3}{5} \]
