Question : If $2 \sec ^2 \theta-9 \sec \theta+7=0$, then what is the value of $\cos ^2 \theta+\sec ^2 \theta$?

Option 1: 2

Option 2: 3

Option 3: 5

Option 4: 1

Team Careers360 19th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 2

⇒ $2x ^2-9x+7=0$
⇒ $2x ^2-2x-7x+7=0$
⇒ $2x(x-1)-7(x-1)=0$
$\therefore x = 1, \frac{7}{2}$
Now, $\cos ^2 \theta+\sec ^2 \theta$
$=\frac{1}{\sec ^2 \theta}+\sec ^2 \theta$
$=\frac{1}{x^2}+x^2 $
