MCQ
The expression $(1 + \tan x + {\tan ^2}x)$ $(1 - \cot x + {\cot ^2}x)$ has the positive values for $x$, given by
  • A
    $0 \le x \le \frac{\pi }{2}$
  • B
    $0 \le x \le \pi $
  • For all $x \in R$
  • D
    $x \ge 0$

Answer

Correct option: C.
For all $x \in R$
c
(c) 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, $1 + {\tan ^2}x \ge {\tan ^2}x,{\rm{ }}\forall {\rm{ }}x$. 

Hence it is positive for all value of $x.$
