Given 2cosθ+sinθ=1 Squaring both sides, we get (2cosθ+sinθ)2=12⇒4cos2θ+sin2θ+4sinθcosθ=1⇒3cos2θ+(cos2θ+sin2θ)+4sinθcosθ=1⇒3cos2θ+λ+4sinθcosθ=1⇒3cos2θ+4sinθcosθ=0⇒cosθ(3cosθ+4sinθ)=0⇒3cosθ+4sinθ=0⇒3cosθ=−4sinθ⇒4−3=tanθ=sec2θ−1=4−3(∵tan2θ=sec2θ−1)⇒sec2θ−1=(4−3)2=169⇒sec2θ=169+1=1625⇒secθ=45 or cosθ=54 Now, sin2θ+cos2θ=1 ⇒sin2θ+(54)2=1sin2θ+54=1⇒sin2θ=1−2516=259sinθ=±53 Taking (sinθ=+53) because (sinθ=−53) cannot satisfy the given equation. Therefore; 7cosθ+6sinθ =7×54+6×53=528+518=546
If 2 cos θ+sin θ=1 (θ ≠ π 2 ), then 7 cos θ+6 sin θ is equal to:
