    Question

    If secθ=43, what is the value of tan2θ+tan4θ?\text{If } \sec \theta = \frac{4}{3}, \text{ what is the value of } \tan^2 \theta + \tan^4 \theta \text{?}​​

    A.

    112/81

    B.

    256/81

    C.

    64/27

    D.

    16/81

    Correct option is A

    Given: secθ=43Concept Used: sec2θ=1+tan2θ Solution: sec2θ=(43)2=169=>169=1+tan2θ=>tan2θ=1691 =>tan2θ=16999 =>tan2θ=79 Now, calculate tan4θ: tan4θ=(tan2θ)2=(79)2=4981 Now, find tan2θ+tan4θ: tan2θ+tan4θ=79+4981 =>tan2θ+tan4θ=6381+4981=11281 Therefore, the value is 11281.\textbf{\underline{Given:} } \\\sec \theta = \frac{4}{3}\\\\\textbf{\underline{Concept Used: }} \\ \sec^2 \theta = 1 + \tan^2 \theta\\\ \\\textbf{\underline {Solution: }} \\ \sec^2 \theta = \left(\frac{4}{3}\right)^2 = \frac{16}{9}\\ \\\Rightarrow \frac{16}{9} = 1 + \tan^2 \theta\\ \\\Rightarrow \tan^2 \theta = \frac{16}{9} - 1\\\ \\\Rightarrow \tan^2 \theta = \frac{16}{9} - \frac{9}{9}\\\ \\\Rightarrow \tan^2 \theta = \frac{7}{9}\\\ \\\text{Now, calculate } \tan^4 \theta:\\\ \\\tan^4 \theta = \left(\tan^2 \theta\right)^2 = \left(\frac{7}{9}\right)^2 = \frac{49}{81}\\\ \\\text{Now, find } \tan^2 \theta + \tan^4 \theta:\\\ \\\tan^2 \theta + \tan^4 \theta = \frac{7}{9} + \frac{49}{81}\\\ \\\Rightarrow \tan^2 \theta + \tan^4 \theta = \frac{63}{81} + \frac{49}{81} = \frac{112}{81}\\\ \\\text{Therefore, the value is } \boxed{\frac{112}{81}}.\\​​
