Here are the solutions for the given trigonometric expressions:

a) Find sinθ\sin \theta Step 1: Use the identity sin2θ+cos2θ=1\sin^2 \theta + \cos^2 \theta = 1. Given cosθ=14\cos \theta = \frac{1}{4}. sin2θ+(14)2=1\sin^2 \theta + \left(\frac{1}{4}\right)^2 = 1 sin2θ+116=1\sin^2 \theta + \frac{1}{16} = 1 sin2θ=1116\sin^2 \theta = 1 - \frac{1}{16} sin2θ=1616116\sin^2 \theta = \frac{16}{16} - \frac{1}{16} sin2θ=1516\sin^2 \theta = \frac{15}{16} Since θ\theta is acute, sinθ\sin \theta is positive. sinθ=1516\sin \theta = \sqrt{\frac{15}{16}} \sin \theta = \frac{\sqrt{15}{4}}

b) Find tan2θ\tan^2 \theta Step 2: Use the identity tan2θ=sin2θcos2θ\tan^2 \theta = \frac{\sin^2 \theta}{\cos^2 \theta}. From Step 1, we have sin2θ=1516\sin^2 \theta = \frac{15}{16}. We are given cosθ=14\cos \theta = \frac{1}{4}, so cos2θ=(14)2=116\cos^2 \theta = \left(\frac{1}{4}\right)^2 = \frac{1}{16}. tan2θ=1516116\tan^2 \theta = \frac{\frac{15}{16}}{\frac{1}{16}} tan2θ=1516×161\tan^2 \theta = \frac{15}{16} \times \frac{16}{1} tan2θ=15\tan^2 \theta = 15

c) Find 1sin2θ\frac{1}{\sin^2 \theta} Step 3: Use the value of sin2θ\sin^2 \theta from Step 1. We found sin2θ=1516\sin^2 \theta = \frac{15}{16}. 1sin2θ=11516\frac{1}{\sin^2 \theta} = \frac{1}{\frac{15}{16}} \frac{1}{\sin^2 \theta} = \frac{16{15}}
