If $3 \sin ^{2} x-8 \sin x+4=0, x \in\left(\frac{\pi}{2}, \pi\right)$, then $\tan x=$
If $3 \sin ^{2} x-8 \sin x+4=0, x \in\left(\frac{\pi}{2}, \pi\right)$, then $\tan x=$
- $-\frac{\sqrt{5}}{2}$
- $\frac{2}{\sqrt{5}}$
- $-\frac{2}{\sqrt{5}}$
- $\frac{\sqrt{5}}{2}$
Solution
$3 \sin ^{2} x-8 \sin x+4=0$
$\sin x-2)\left(\sin x-\frac{2}{3}\right)=0$
$\sin x=2$
$x$
$\sin x=\frac{2}{3}$
$\tan x=\frac{2}{\sqrt{5}}$ when $x \in(\pi / 2, \pi)$
