To find the minimum value of the expression \( (2 - a - 4 \sec \theta)^2 + (a - 3 \tan \theta)^2 \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Define the function Let \( f(\theta, a) = (2 - a - 4 \sec \theta)^2 + (a - 3 \tan \theta)^2 \). ### Step 2: Identify points We can interpret the expression as the square of the distance between two points: - Point \( P \) at coordinates \( (2 - a, a) \) ...
