Given: ![]()
To find: the value of given expression
Explanation: given ![]()
But we know, ![]()
Substituting this in given expression, we get
![]()
![]()
On combining we get
![]()
![]()
But we know sin2θ + cos2θ = 1
⇒ sin2θ = 1 – cos2θ
Now substituting the above value in equation (i), we get
![]()
= – 1
Hence the given value of the expression is–1
OR
Given: sin θ = cos θ
To find: the value of 2 tan θ + cos2θ
Explanation: given sin θ = cos θ
![]()
But we know this equal to tan θ
Hence tan θ = 1
But this is possible for the value
θ = 45°………. (i)
We will take the next expression,
2 tan θ + cos2θ
Substituting the value of θ from equation (i), we get
2tan (45°) + cos2(45°) ………. (ii)
We know tan (45°) = 1 and cos (45°) ![]()
Substituting these values in equation (ii), we get

![]()
![]()
![]()
Hence the value of 2 tan θ + cos2θ = ![]()
