if 3 sin theta+4 cos theta=5 then find the value of sin theta

5-4costheta/3
 
  • -9
but Gagan if we will put the value of sin theta as 5-4costhete/3 then whole becomes zero....it might be wrong
 
  • -3
Yaa gagan u r wrong
  • -5
I DONT KNOW
  • -6

We have :

3sinθ+4cosθ=5

Subtract 3sinθ from both sides 

4cosθ=53sinθ

Square both sides 

16cos2θ=25+9sin2θ2(5)(3sinθ)

Now substitute cos2θ=1sin2θ at L.H.S 

16(1sin2θ)=25+9sin2θ30sinθ

Rearrange the terms to get a quadratic in sinθ

9sin2θ+16sin2θ30sinθ+2516=0

25sin2θ30sinθ+9=0

Now if you look , the above quadratic equation is a perfect square using the identity a2+b22ab=(ab)2 we write it as 

(5sinθ)2a22(5sinθ)(3)2ab+(3)2b2=0

(5sinθ3)2=0

5sinθ3=0

sinθ=35 .

Given 
3 Sin theta +4 Cos theta= 5
4 Cos theta=5-3 sin theta
 Square on both sides
16 cos^2 theta=25+9 sin^theta-30 sin theta
16[1-sin^2 theta]=25+9 sin^theta-30 sin theta
16-16 sin^2 theta=25+9 sin^theta-30 sin theta
25+9 sin^theta-30 sin theta -16+16 sin^2 theta=0
25 sin^2 theta-30 sin theta+9=0
[5 sin theta]^2-2x 5 sin theta x3+[3]^2=0

it is in form of [a+b]^2

so .....[5 sin theta-3]^2=0
5 sin theta-3=0
sin theta = 3/5
