Question 23
a.

For a small angle θ\thetaθ, where θ \theta\,θ is in radians, show that 2cos⁡θ+(sin⁡θ+3)2≈6θ+112 \cos \theta + (\sin \theta + 3)^2 \approx 6\theta + 112cosθ+(sinθ+3)2≈6θ+11

b.

Hence determine an approximate solution to 2cos⁡θ+(sin⁡θ+3)2≈20tan⁡θ2 \cos \theta + (\sin \theta + 3)^2 \approx 20 \tan \theta2cosθ+(sinθ+3)2≈20tanθ
