The expression (tan^4x+2tan^2x+1)cos^2x ...

The expression `(tan^4x+2tan^2x+1)cos^2x ,w h e nx=pi/(12),` can be equal to `4(2-sqrt(3))` (b) `4(sqrt(2)+1)` `16cos^2pi/(12)` (d) `16sin^2pi/(12)`

A

`4(2-sqrt(3))`

B

`4(sqrt(2)+1)`

C

`16cos^(2)pi//12`

D

`16sin^(2)pi//12`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A, D

`=y=((1+tan^(2)x)^(2))/(1+tan^(2)x)=1+tan^(2)x`
`=1+(2-sqrt(3))^(2)`
`=8-4sqrt(3)=4(2-sqrt(3))`
`=4[(sqrt((3)/(2))-(1)/sqrt(2))^(2)]`
`4[4((sqrt(3)-1)/(2sqrt(2)))^(2)]`
`=16sin^(2)((pi)/(12))`
