The minimum value of atan^2x+bcot^2x equ...

The minimum value of `atan^2x+bcot^2x` equals the maximum value of `asin^2theta+bcos^2theta` where `a > b > 0.` The `a/b` is 2 (b) 4 (c) 6 (d) 8

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

We know A.M. is always greater than or equal to G.M.
`:. (atan^2x+bcot^2x)/2 ge sqrt(atan^2xbcot^2x)`
`=> atan^2x+bcot^2x ge 2sqrt(ab) `
So, minimum value of `atan^2x+bcot^2x` is `2sqrt(ab).`
Now, `asin^2x+bcos^2x = asin^2x+b(1-sin^2x)`
`=(a-b)sin^2x+b`
So, maximum value of `asin^2x+bcos^2x = a-b+b = a`
