MCQ
For $\theta > \frac{\pi }{3}$, the value of $f(\theta ) = {\sec ^2}\theta + {\cos ^2}\theta $ always lies in the interval
  • A
    $(0, 2)$
  • B
    $[0, 1]$
  • C
    $(1, 2)$
  • $[2,\;\infty )$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$[2,\;\infty )$
d
(d) $ - 1 \le \cos \theta \le 1$ ==> $ = - \frac{1}{{{a^2}}}$

and ${\sec ^2}\theta \ge 1$   for  $\theta > \frac{\pi }{3}$ , $\sec \theta \ge 2$

==> ${\sec ^2}\theta \ge 4$.  Required interval $ = [2,\,\,\infty )$.
