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 $\tan x=$
  1. $-\frac{\sqrt{5}}{2}$
  2. $\frac{2}{\sqrt{5}}$
  3. $-\frac{2}{\sqrt{5}}$
  4. $\frac{\sqrt{5}}{2}$

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 $x \in(\pi / 2, \pi)$
