Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : 60° Given: Our given expression is 7 – 2sin2θ – 11cosθ = 0 Formula used: cos2θ + sin2θ = 1 Calculation: Our given expression is 7 – 2sin2θ – 11cosθ = 0 ⇒ 7 – 2(1 – cos2θ) – 11cosθ = 0 ⇒ 7 – 2 + 2cos2θ – 11cosθ = 0 Put cosθ = t, then our equation becomes ⇒ 2t2 – 11t + 5 = 0 ⇒ (t – 5)(t – 1/2) = 0 ⇒ t = 5 or t = ½ Here t = 5 is not possible, so t = ½ ⇒ cosθ = ½ ∴ The value of θ is 60° |
