The correct Answer is:
To solve the equation \(\frac{\csc \theta + \sin \theta}{\csc \theta - \sin \theta} = \frac{5}{3}\) and find the value of \(\tan \theta\), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Rewrite \(\csc \theta\) We know that \(\csc \theta = \frac{1}{\sin \theta}\). Therefore, we can substitute this into the equation: \[ \frac{\frac{1}{\sin \theta} + \sin \theta}{\frac{1}{\sin \theta} - \sin \theta} = \frac{5}{3} \] ### Step 2: Simplify the expression Now, we can simplify the numerator and the denominator: **Numerator:** \[ \frac{1 + \sin^2 \theta}{\sin \theta} \] **Denominator:** \[ \frac{1 - \sin^2 \theta}{\sin \theta} = \frac{\cos^2 \theta}{\sin \theta} \] Putting it all together, we have: \[ \frac{\frac{1 + \sin^2 \theta}{\sin \theta}}{\frac{\cos^2 \theta}{\sin \theta}} = \frac{1 + \sin^2 \theta}{\cos^2 \theta} \] ### Step 3: Set the equation Now we set the simplified expression equal to \(\frac{5}{3}\): \[ \frac{1 + \sin^2 \theta}{\cos^2 \theta} = \frac{5}{3} \] ### Step 4: Cross-multiply Cross-multiplying gives us: \[ 3(1 + \sin^2 \theta) = 5 \cos^2 \theta \] ### Step 5: Use the Pythagorean identity Recall that \(\cos^2 \theta = 1 - \sin^2 \theta\). Substitute this into the equation: \[ 3(1 + \sin^2 \theta) = 5(1 - \sin^2 \theta) \] ### Step 6: Expand and rearrange Expanding both sides gives: \[ 3 + 3\sin^2 \theta = 5 - 5\sin^2 \theta \] Now, rearranging the equation: \[ 3\sin^2 \theta + 5\sin^2 \theta = 5 - 3 \] \[ 8\sin^2 \theta = 2 \] ### Step 7: Solve for \(\sin^2 \theta\) Dividing both sides by 8: \[ \sin^2 \theta = \frac{2}{8} = \frac{1}{4} \] ### Step 8: Find \(\sin \theta\) Taking the square root gives: \[ \sin \theta = \frac{1}{2} \] ### Step 9: Find \(\cos \theta\) Using the Pythagorean identity: \[ \cos^2 \theta = 1 - \sin^2 \theta = 1 - \frac{1}{4} = \frac{3}{4} \] Thus, \[ \cos \theta = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \] ### Step 10: Calculate \(\tan \theta\) Finally, we can find \(\tan \theta\): \[ \tan \theta = \frac{\sin \theta}{\cos \theta} = \frac{\frac{1}{2}}{\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \] ### Final Answer Therefore, the value of \(\tan \theta\) is: \[ \tan \theta = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \] ---
