Determine the value of $ an(θ)$ when $sin(θ) = frac{3}{5}$ and $θ$ is in the first quadrant.
Answer 1
Given that $\sin(θ) = \frac{3}{5}$ and $θ$ is in the first quadrant, we can find $\cos(θ)$ using the Pythagorean identity:
$\sin^2(θ) + \cos^2(θ) = 1$
Plugging in the given value:
$\left(\frac{3}{5}\right)^2 + \cos^2(θ) = 1$
$\frac{9}{25} + \cos^2(θ) = 1$
$\cos^2(θ) = 1 – \frac{9}{25} = \frac{16}{25}$
Since $θ$ is in the first quadrant, $\cos(θ)$ is positive:
$\cos(θ) = \frac{4}{5}$
Now, we can find $\tan(θ)$:
$\tan(θ) = \frac{\sin(θ)}{\cos(θ)} = \frac{\frac{3}{5}}{\frac{4}{5}} = \frac{3}{4}$
Therefore, $\tan(θ) = \frac{3}{4}$.
Answer 2
Given $sin(θ) = frac{3}{5}$:
$cos^2(θ) = 1 – sin^2(θ) = 1 – left(frac{3}{5}
ight)^2 = frac{16}{25}$
$cos(θ) = frac{4}{5}$
Then, $ an(θ) = frac{sin(θ)}{cos(θ)} = frac{3}{4}$.
Answer 3
Using $sin(θ) = frac{3}{5}$:
$cos(θ) = frac{4}{5}$
$ an(θ) = frac{3}{4}$.
