If \(\sec x-\tan x=\frac{1}{4}\), what is the value of (\sec x+\tan x)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 4

Using the identity \(\sec^2 x-\tan^2 x=1\), we get \((\sec x-\tan x)(\sec x+\tan x)=1\). Hence \(\frac{1}{4}(\sec x+\tan x)=1\), so \(\sec x+\tan x=4\). The option \(16\) may result from incorrectly squaring \(\frac{1}{4}\). Exam tip: rewrite \(\sec^2 x-\tan^2 x=1\) as a product in such questions.
