MCQ
If $\sec\text{x}=\text{x}+\frac{1}{4\text{x}},$ then $\sec\text{x}+\tan\text{x}=$
  • A
    $\text{x},\frac{1}{\text{x}}$
  • B
    $2\text{x},\frac{1}{2\text{x}}$
  • C
    $-2\text{x},\frac{1}{2\text{x}}$
  • D
    $-\frac{1}{\text{x}},\text{x}$

Answer

  1. $2\text{x},\frac{1}{2\text{x}}$

Solution:

We have:

$\sec\text{x} = \text{x} +\frac{1}{4\text{x}}$

$\Rightarrow\sec^2\text{x}=\text{x}^2+\frac{1}{16\text{x}^2}+\frac{1}{2}$

$\Rightarrow1+\tan^2\text{x}$

$=1+\text{x}^2+\frac{1}{16\text{x}^2}-\frac{1}{2}$

$\Rightarrow\tan^2\text{x}=\text{x}^2+\frac{1}{16\text{x}^2}-\frac{1}{2}$

$\Rightarrow\tan^2\text{x}=\Big(\text{x}-\frac{1}{4\text{x}}\Big)^2$

$\therefore\tan\text{x}=\pm\Big(\text{x}-\frac{1}{4\text{x}}\Big)$

$\sec\text{x}-\tan\text{x}=\Big(\text{x}+\frac{1}{4\text{x}}\Big)-\Big(\text{x}-\frac{1}{4\text{x}}\Big)\text{or}$ 

$=\Big(\text{x}+\frac{1}{4\text{x}}\Big)-\Big[-\Big(\text{x}-\frac{1}{4\text{x}}\Big)\Big]$

$=\frac{1}{2\text{x}}\text{ or } 2\text{x}$
