Rearrange for cos theta: Rearrange to find cos2θ: cos2θ=1−161.
Find positive root: Simplify 1−161: cos2θ=1615.
Divide sin by cos: Take the square root of both sides to find cosθ. Since cosθ>0, we choose the positive root: cosθ=1615.
Simplify the division: Simplify 1615: cosθ=415.
Rationalize the denominator: Now, divide sinθ by cosθ to find tanθ: tanθ=4−1/415.
Finalize the solution: Simplify the division: tanθ=−151.
Finalize the solution: Simplify the division: tanθ=−151.Rationalize the denominator: tanθ=−151×1515.
Finalize the solution: Simplify the division: tanθ=−151.Rationalize the denominator: tanθ=−151×1515.Multiply numerator and denominator by 15: tanθ=−1515.
