Trigonometric Equations Question 56

Question: The expression $ (1+\tan x+{{\tan }^{2}}x) $ $ (1-\cot x+{{\cot }^{2}}x) $ has the positive values for x, given by

Options:

A) $ 0\le x\le \frac{\pi }{2} $

B) $ 0\le x\le \pi $

C) For all $ x\in R $

D) $ x\ge 0 $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

  • The expression is $ \frac{(1+\tan x+{{\tan }^{2}}x)(1+{{\tan }^{2}}x-\tan x)}{{{\tan }^{2}}x} $ = $ \frac{{{(1+{{\tan }^{2}}x)}^{2}}-{{\tan }^{2}}x}{{{\tan }^{2}}x} $ Obviously, $ 1+{{\tan }^{2}}x\ge {{\tan }^{2}}x,\text{ }\forall x $ . Hence it is positive for all value of x.
