Question
If 0 < x < π and cosx + sinx =
, then tanx is
, then tanx isOptions
A.

B.

C.-

D.

Solution
cos x sinx =
⇒ 1 + sin2x =
⇒ sin2x = -
, so x is obtuse and
⇒ 3tan2x 8tanx + 3 = 0
∴ tan x =
∵ tan x < 0 ∴ tan x =
⇒ 1 + sin2x =
⇒ sin2x = -
, so x is obtuse and
⇒ 3tan2x 8tanx + 3 = 0∴ tan x =
∵ tan x < 0 ∴ tan x =
