MCQ

Choose the correct answer. If $\text{f(x)}=\cos^2\text{x}+\sec^2\text{x},$ then:

A
$\text{f(x)}<1$
B
$\text{f(x)}=1$
C
$2<\text{f(x)}<1$
✓
$\text{f(x)}\geq2$

✓

Answer

Correct option: D.

$\text{f(x)}\geq2$

Given that; $\text{f(x)}=\cos^2\text{x}+\sec^2\text{x}$
We know that $\text{AM}\geq\text{GM}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\cos^2\text{x}+\sec^2\text{x}}{2}\geq\sqrt{\cos^2\text{x}.\sec^2\text{x}}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\cos^2\text{x}+\sec^2\text{x}}{2}\geq1$ $\big[\text{since}\sec\theta=\frac{1}{\cos\theta}\big]$
$\Rightarrow\cos^2\text{x}+\sec^2\text{x}\geq2$
$\Rightarrow\text{f(x)}\geq2$
Hence, the correct option is $(d)$
