MCQ

If $\sec\text{x}=\text{x}+\frac{1}{4\text{x}},$ then $\sec\text{x}+\tan\text{x}=$

A
$\text{x},\frac{1}{\text{x}}$
✓
$2\text{x},\frac{1}{2\text{x}}$
C
$-2\text{x},\frac{1}{2\text{x}}$
D
$-\frac{1}{\text{x}},\text{x}$

✓

Answer

Correct option: B.

$2\text{x},\frac{1}{2\text{x}}$

We have:
$\sec\text{x} = \text{x} +\frac{1}{4\text{x}}$
$\Rightarrow\sec^2\text{x}=\text{x}^2+\frac{1}{16\text{x}^2}+\frac{1}{2}$
$\Rightarrow1+\tan^2\text{x}$
$=1+\text{x}^2+\frac{1}{16\text{x}^2}-\frac{1}{2}$
$\Rightarrow\tan^2\text{x}=\text{x}^2+\frac{1}{16\text{x}^2}-\frac{1}{2}$
$\Rightarrow\tan^2\text{x}=\Big(\text{x}-\frac{1}{4\text{x}}\Big)^2$
$\therefore\tan\text{x}=\pm\Big(\text{x}-\frac{1}{4\text{x}}\Big)$
$\sec\text{x}-\tan\text{x}=\Big(\text{x}+\frac{1}{4\text{x}}\Big)-\Big(\text{x}-\frac{1}{4\text{x}}\Big)\text{or}$
$=\Big(\text{x}+\frac{1}{4\text{x}}\Big)-\Big[-\Big(\text{x}-\frac{1}{4\text{x}}\Big)\Big]$
$=\frac{1}{2\text{x}}\text{ or } 2\text{x}$

Some identical balls are arranged in rows to form an equilateral triangle. The first row consists of one ball, the second row consists of two balls and so on. If $99$ more identical balls are added to the total number of balls used in forming the equilateral triangle, then all these balls can be arranged in a square whose each side contains exactly $2$ balls less than the number of balls each side of the triangle contains. Then the number of balls used to form the equilateral triangle is
