Q. If $\alpha\epsilon\left( 0,\frac{\pi}{2} \right)$, then $\sqrt{x^{2} + x} + \frac{\tan^{2}\alpha}{\sqrt{x^{2} + x}}$ is always greater than or equal to

A) $2\tan\alpha$
B) 1
C) 2
D) $\sec^{2}\alpha$
Explanation

(a)
Here,$\alpha \in \left( 0,\frac{\pi}{2} \right) \Rightarrow \tan{\alpha\ is\ ( + ve)}$
[as, we know if $a,b > 0 \Rightarrow \frac{a + b}{2} \geq \sqrt{ab}\ ie,\ AM \geq GM$]
$\frac{\sqrt{x^{2} + x +}\frac{\tan^{2}\alpha}{\sqrt{x^{2} + x}}}{2} \geq \sqrt{\sqrt{x^{2} + x.}\frac{\tan^{2}\alpha}{\sqrt{x^{2} + x}}\lbrack using\ AM\ \geq GM\rbrack}$
$\Rightarrow \sqrt{x^{2} + x} + \frac{\tan^{2}\alpha}{\sqrt{x^{2} + x}} \geq 2\tan\alpha$
