If tan x = t, Find tan 2x + sec 2x

If \( \tan x=t \), Find \( \tan2x+\sec2x \)

Question

If

\[ \tan x=t, \]

then

\[ \tan2x+\sec2x \]

is equal to

(a) \(\dfrac{1+t}{1-t}\)
(b) \(\dfrac{1-t}{1+t}\)
(c) \(\dfrac{2t}{1-t}\)
(d) \(\dfrac{2t}{1+t}\)

Solution

Using the identities

\[ \tan2x=\frac{2t}{1-t^2} \]

and

\[ \sec2x=\frac{1+t^2}{1-t^2} \]

Therefore,

\[ \tan2x+\sec2x = \frac{2t}{1-t^2} + \frac{1+t^2}{1-t^2} \]

\[ = \frac{1+2t+t^2}{1-t^2} \]

\[ = \frac{(1+t)^2}{(1-t)(1+t)} \]

\[ = \frac{1+t}{1-t} \]

Final Answer

\[ \boxed{\frac{1+t}{1-t}} \]

Hence, the correct option is (a) \(\dfrac{1+t}{1-t}\).
