Question

sec2 θ = is true if and only if

Options

A.x = y ≠ 0
B.x = y, x ≠ 0
C.x = y
D.x ≠ 0, y ≠ 0

Solution

We know that, θ ≥ 1
⇒    
⇒     4xy ≥ (x + y)2
⇒     (x + y)2 - 4xy ≤ 0
⇒     (x + y)2 ≤ 0
⇒     x - y = 0
⇒     x = y
Therefore, x + y = 2x (add x both sides)
But x + y ≠ 0 since it lies in the denominator,
⇒     2x ≠ 0
⇒     x ≠ 0
Hence, x = y, x ≠ 0 is the answer.
Therefore, (a) and (b) are the answers.
