    If \[p={{\tan }^{2}}x+{{\cot }^{2}}x,\]men which one of the following is correct?

    A)  \[p\le 2\]

    B)  \[p\ge 2\]

    C)  \[p<2\]

    D)  \[p>2\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Given, \[p={{\tan }^{2}}x+{{\cot }^{2}}x={{(\tan x+\cot x)}^{2}}-2\] \[={{\left( \frac{{{\sin }^{2}}x+{{\cos }^{2}}x}{\sin x\cos x} \right)}^{2}}-2={{\left( \frac{2}{\sin 2x} \right)}^{2}}-2=\frac{4}{{{\sin }^{2}}2x}-2\]The maximum value of sin \[2x\] is 1. \[\therefore \]      \[{{p}_{\min }}=\frac{4}{1}-2=2\therefore p\ge 2\] Hence, \[p\ge 2.\]
