    If \[\tan \theta +\sec \theta ={{e}^{x}},\]then \[\cos \theta \] equals [AMU 2002]

    A) \[\frac{({{e}^{x}}+{{e}^{-x}})}{2}\]

    B) \[\frac{2}{({{e}^{x}}+{{e}^{-x}})}\]

    C) \[\frac{({{e}^{x}}-{{e}^{-x}})}{2}\]

    D) \[\frac{({{e}^{x}}-{{e}^{-x}})}{({{e}^{x}}+{{e}^{-x}})}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    \[\tan \theta +\sec \theta ={{e}^{x}}\] ?..(i) \[\therefore \,\,\,\sec \theta -\tan \theta ={{e}^{-x}}\] ?..(ii) From (i) and (ii), \[\,2\sec \theta ={{e}^{x}}+{{e}^{-x}}\,\Rightarrow \,\cos \theta =\frac{2}{{{e}^{x}}+{{e}^{-x}}}.\]
