If (\tan x=\frac{3}{4}) and (x) is in the first quadrant, what is the value of (\sin x)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (\frac{3}{5})

The tangent ratio is \\(\\tan x=\\frac{\\text{opposite}}{\\text{adjacent}}=\\frac{3}{4}\\). In a right triangle, take the opposite side as 3 units and the adjacent side as 4 units. By the Pythagorean theorem, the hypotenuse is \\(\\sqrt{3^2+4^2}=\\sqrt{25}=5\\). Therefore, \\(\\sin x=\\frac{\\text{opposite}}{\\text{hypotenuse}}=\\frac{3}{5}\\). Since x is in the first quadrant, sine is positive, so option B is correct.

The first-quadrant condition removes any sign ambiguity: both sine and cosine are positive there. One may also use \\(1+\\tan^2x=\\sec^2x\\), but the 3-4-5 triangle gives the result directly. The values \\(4/5\\), \\(5/3\\), and \\(5/4\\) correspond to other ratios or are greater than 1, so they cannot be the sine value here. The supplied answer B and its explanation are correct.
