A solution of the equation (1tanθ)(1+tanθ)sec2θ+2tan2θ=0 which θ lies in the interval (π/2,π/2) is given by

a
θ=0
b
θ=π3
c
θ=-π3
d
θ=π6

detailed solution

Correct option is B

(1−tan⁡θ)(1+tan⁡θ)sec2⁡θ+2tan2⁡θ=0⇒1−tan4⁡θ+2tan2⁡θ=0⇒2t=t2−1 where t=tan2⁡θBy inspection (or by graph) we findy=2t and y=t2−1 intersect in t=3⇒ tan2⁡θ=3⇒ tan⁡θ=±3⇒θ=±π/3
