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

Answer

Correct option: B.
$2\sec \theta $
b
(b) Given that $x = \sec \theta + \tan \theta $

$ \Rightarrow \,x + \frac{1}{x} = \sec \theta + \tan \theta + \frac{1}{{\sec \theta + \tan \theta }}$

$ = \sec \theta + \tan \theta + \sec \theta - \tan \theta = 2\sec \theta $
