Answer: Option (a) \sqrt{ \frac{7}{9}} 

Explanation: 

Given that,

sec\ x=\frac{4}{3}

Using the tangent formula,

tan\ x=\pm \sqrt{sec^{2}x-1}

Since x is in the first quadrant, cos\ x is positive. Thus,

Substituting the value of sec\ x=\frac{4}{3} to get,

tan\ x=\pm \sqrt{\left ( \frac{4}{3} \right )^{2}-1}
tan\ x=\sqrt{ \frac{7}{9}}
