If `tanx=ntany ,n in R^+,` then the maximum value of `sec^2(x-y)` is equal to `((n+1)^2)/(2n)` (b) `((n+1)^2)/n` `((n+1)^2)/2` (d) `((n+1)^2)/(4n)`

A

`((n+1)^(2))/(2n)`

B

`((n+1)^(2))/(n)`

C

`((n+1)^(2))/(2)`

D

`((n+1)^(2))/(4n)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

`tan x=n tan y, cos(x-y)=cos x cos y+sin(xsiny)`
`rArr cos(x-y)=cos x cos y(1+tan x tan y)`
`=cos x cos y(1+n tan^(2)y)`
`rArr sec^(2)(x-y)=(sec^(2)xsec^(2)y)/((1+n tan ^(2)y)^(2))`.
`=((1+tan^(2)x)(1+tan^(2)y))/((1+n tan^(2)y)^(2))`
`=((1+n^(2)tan^(2)y)(1+tan^(2)y))/((1+tan^(2)y)^(2))`
`=1+((n-1)^(2)tan^(2)y)/((1+ntan^(2)y)^(2))`.
Now `((1+n tan^(2)y)/(2))^(2)ge n tan^(2)y`
or `(tan^(2)y)/((1+n tan^(2)y)^(2)le(1)/(4n)`
`rArr sec^(2)(x-y)le1+((n-1)^(2))/(4n)=((n+1)^(2))/(4n)`
