b. sinθ

Solution
`sqrt((1 - sin^2 60°)/(1 + sin^2 60°)`
= `sqrt((1 - (sqrt(3)/2)^2)/(1 + (sqrt(3)/2)^2`
= `sqrt((1 - 3/4)/(1 + 3/4)`
= `sqrt((1/4)/(7/4)`
= `sqrt(1/7)`
= `(1)/sqrt(7)`
3tan2θ - 1 = 0
⇒ 3tan2θ = 1
⇒ tan2θ = `(1)/(3)`
⇒ tanθ = `(1)/sqrt(3)`
⇒ tanθ = tan30°
⇒ θ = 30°
a. cos2θ
= cos2 x 30°
= cos60°
= `(1)/(2)`
b. sin3θ
= sin3 x 30°
= sin90°
= 1.
