The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem where \( \tan \theta + \sec \theta = 1.5 \), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Rewrite the equation We can express \( 1.5 \) as a fraction: \[ \tan \theta + \sec \theta = \frac{3}{2} \] ### Step 2: Rationalize the equation To rationalize, we multiply both sides by \( \sec \theta - \tan \theta \): \[ (\tan \theta + \sec \theta)(\sec \theta - \tan \theta) = \frac{3}{2}(\sec \theta - \tan \theta) \] This gives us: \[ \sec^2 \theta - \tan^2 \theta = \frac{3}{2}(\sec \theta - \tan \theta) \] ### Step 3: Use the Pythagorean identity We know that: \[ \sec^2 \theta - \tan^2 \theta = 1 \] So we can substitute this into our equation: \[ 1 = \frac{3}{2}(\sec \theta - \tan \theta) \] ### Step 4: Solve for \( \sec \theta - \tan \theta \) Rearranging gives: \[ \sec \theta - \tan \theta = \frac{2}{3} \] ### Step 5: Set up equations Now we have two equations: 1. \( \sec \theta + \tan \theta = \frac{3}{2} \) (Equation 1) 2. \( \sec \theta - \tan \theta = \frac{2}{3} \) (Equation 2) ### Step 6: Add the equations Adding Equation 1 and Equation 2: \[ (\sec \theta + \tan \theta) + (\sec \theta - \tan \theta) = \frac{3}{2} + \frac{2}{3} \] This simplifies to: \[ 2 \sec \theta = \frac{3}{2} + \frac{2}{3} \] ### Step 7: Find a common denominator To add the fractions, we find a common denominator (which is 6): \[ \frac{3}{2} = \frac{9}{6}, \quad \frac{2}{3} = \frac{4}{6} \] Thus, \[ 2 \sec \theta = \frac{9}{6} + \frac{4}{6} = \frac{13}{6} \] ### Step 8: Solve for \( \sec \theta \) Dividing both sides by 2: \[ \sec \theta = \frac{13}{12} \] ### Step 9: Find \( \sin \theta \) and \( \tan \theta \) Using the relationship of secant: \[ \sec \theta = \frac{1}{\cos \theta} \implies \cos \theta = \frac{12}{13} \] Now to find \( \sin \theta \): Using the Pythagorean identity: \[ \sin^2 \theta + \cos^2 \theta = 1 \implies \sin^2 \theta + \left(\frac{12}{13}\right)^2 = 1 \] Calculating \( \left(\frac{12}{13}\right)^2 \): \[ \sin^2 \theta + \frac{144}{169} = 1 \implies \sin^2 \theta = 1 - \frac{144}{169} = \frac{25}{169} \] Thus, \[ \sin \theta = \frac{5}{13} \] ### Step 10: Find \( \tan \theta \) Using the definition of tangent: \[ \tan \theta = \frac{\sin \theta}{\cos \theta} = \frac{\frac{5}{13}}{\frac{12}{13}} = \frac{5}{12} \] ### Final Results Thus, we have: \[ \sin \theta = \frac{5}{13}, \quad \tan \theta = \frac{5}{12}, \quad \sec \theta = \frac{13}{12} \]
