find the minimum value of  y= (b^2 /(sin^2 x))+(a^2 /(cos^2 x))
$$\mathrm{find}\:\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{minimum}\:\mathrm{value}\:\mathrm{of} \\ $$$$\mathrm{y}=\:\frac{\mathrm{b}^{\mathrm{2}} }{\mathrm{sin}^{\mathrm{2}} \mathrm{x}}+\frac{\mathrm{a}^{\mathrm{2}} }{\mathrm{cos}^{\mathrm{2}} \mathrm{x}} \\ $$

(dy/dx)=−((2b^2 cos x)/(sin^3  x))+((2a^2 sin x)/(cos^3  x))=0  sin x =t  cos x =(√(1−t^2 ))  2(((a^2 −b^2 )t^4 +2b^2 t^2 −b^2 )/(t^3 (1−t^2 )^(3/2) ))=0  ⇒ t=±(√(b/(a+b))) ∨ t=±(√(b/(b−a)))  ⇒ y=(a+b)^2  ∨ y=(a−b)^2   ⇒ the minimal value of y=min((a+b)^2 , (a−b)^2 )
$$\frac{{dy}}{{dx}}=−\frac{\mathrm{2}{b}^{\mathrm{2}} \mathrm{cos}\:{x}}{\mathrm{sin}^{\mathrm{3}} \:{x}}+\frac{\mathrm{2}{a}^{\mathrm{2}} \mathrm{sin}\:{x}}{\mathrm{cos}^{\mathrm{3}} \:{x}}=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$$\mathrm{sin}\:{x}\:={t} \\ $$$$\mathrm{cos}\:{x}\:=\sqrt{\mathrm{1}−{t}^{\mathrm{2}} } \\ $$$$\mathrm{2}\frac{\left({a}^{\mathrm{2}} −{b}^{\mathrm{2}} \right){t}^{\mathrm{4}} +\mathrm{2}{b}^{\mathrm{2}} {t}^{\mathrm{2}} −{b}^{\mathrm{2}} }{{t}^{\mathrm{3}} \left(\mathrm{1}−{t}^{\mathrm{2}} \right)^{\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{2}}} }=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\:{t}=\pm\sqrt{\frac{{b}}{{a}+{b}}}\:\vee\:{t}=\pm\sqrt{\frac{{b}}{{b}−{a}}} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\:{y}=\left({a}+{b}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} \:\vee\:{y}=\left({a}−{b}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\:\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{minimal}\:\mathrm{value}\:\mathrm{of}\:{y}=\mathrm{min}\left(\left({a}+{b}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} ,\:\left({a}−{b}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} \right) \\ $$

another approach  y=b^2 cosec^2 x+a^2 sec^2 x  y=a^2 (1+tan^2 x)+b^2 (1+cot^2 x)  y=a^2 +b^2 +a^2 tan^2 x+b^2 cot^2 x  t=tanx  y=a^2 +b^2 +a^2 t^2 +(b^2 /t^2 )  y=(a^2 +b^2 )+(at−(b/t))^2 +2×at×(b/t)  y=a^2 +b^2 +2ab+(at−(b/t))^2   y_(min) =a^2 +2ab+b^2 =(a+b)^2    [when (at−(b/t))^2 =0]  y_(min) =(a+b)^2    when at−(b/t)=0  t^2 =(b/a)→t=±(√(b/a))   tanx=±(√(b/a))
