Question

If $$\sin \alpha = p,$$   where $$\left| p \right| \leqslant 1$$  then the quadratic equation whose roots are $$\tan \frac{\alpha }{2}$$  and $$\cot \frac{\alpha }{2}$$  is

A. $$p{x^2} + 2x + p = 0$$
B. $$p{x^2} - x + p = 0$$
C. $$p{x^2} - 2x + p = 0$$  
D. None of these
Answer :   $$p{x^2} - 2x + p = 0$$
Solution :
$$\tan \frac{\alpha }{2} + \cot \frac{\alpha }{2} = \frac{1}{{\cos \frac{\alpha }{2} \cdot \sin \frac{\alpha }{2}}} = \frac{2}{{\sin \alpha }} = \frac{2}{p}\,{\text{and}}\tan \frac{\alpha }{2} \cdot \cot \frac{\alpha }{2} = 1.$$
∴ the required equation is $${x^2} - \frac{2}{p}x + 1 = 0.$$
