Enter your answer in the boxes as a fraction in simplest form.

Verified Answer :

\(\tan x=\dfrac{\sin x}{\cos x}=\dfrac{\frac45}{\frac35}=\dfrac43\)

Answer:

\(\tan x=\frac{4}{3}\)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : \(\sin x=\frac{4}{5}\) and  \(\cos x=\frac{3}{5}\)

We have to find the ratio for  \(\tan x\)

Consider the trigonometric ratio, we know the ratio of sine and cosine is tangent.

Written mathematically as,

\(\tan x=\frac{\sin x}{\cos x}\)

Substitute, we get,

\(\tan x=\dfrac{\frac{4}{5}}{\frac{3}{5}}\)

Simplify, we have,

 \(\tan x=\frac{4\times 5}{5 \times 3}\)

Simplify , we get,

\(\tan x=\frac{4}{3}\)

Thus,  \(\tan x=\frac{4}{3}\)
