Secant x= 1/cosx

So if cos x=1 ,we know that x=0 degrees ( or radians), so secant x is 1/cos (0)=1/1=1

1 over cos x equals what?

sec(x)=1/cos(x), by definition of secant.


How do you solve Sin x sec x equals tan x?

Cos x = 1 / Sec x so 1 / Cos x = Sec x Then Tan x = Sin x / Cos x = Sin x * (1 / Cos x) = Sin x * Sec x


Is cos 2 x sec x equals 2 cos x - sec x an identity?

Yes, it is. the basic identity is for a double angle relation: cos 2x = 2 cosx cos x -1 since sec x =1/cos x if we multiply both sides by sec x we get cos2xsec x = 2cosxcos x/cos x -1/cos x = 2cos x - sec x


What is sec x cos x?

sec x = 1/cos x sec x cos x = [1/cos x] [cos x] = 1


How do you put sec in a TI 84 calculator?

sec = 1 / cos sec = 1 / cos


How do you identify sec x sin x equals tan x?

Rewrite sec x as 1/cos x. Then, sec x sin x = (1/cos x)(sin x) = sin x/cos x. By definition, this is equal to tan x.


How do you find sec x cos x?

sec x = 1/cos x so sec x * cos x = 1


Sec - cos equals tansin?

Prove that tan(x)sin(x) = sec(x)-cos(x) tan(x)sin(x) = [sin(x) / cos (x)] sin(x) = sin2(x) / cos(x) = [1-cos2(x)] / cos(x) = 1/cos(x) - cos2(x)/ cos(x) = sec(x)-cos(x) Q.E.D


What is sec theta - 1 over sec theta?

Let 'theta' = A [as 'A' is easier to type] sec A - 1/(sec A) = 1/(cos A) - cos A = (1 - cos^2 A)/(cos A) = (sin^2 A)/(cos A) = (tan A)*(sin A) Then you can swap back the 'A' with theta


What is the reciprocal function of sec A?

The answer is cos A . cos A = 1/ (sec A)


How do you calculate sec in trigonometry?

sec(x)=1/cos(x) - (hint: look at the third letter: sec->(1/)cos, cosec->(1/)sin, cot->(1/)tan)


What is the solution to sec plus tan equals cos over 1 plus sin?

sec + tan = cos /(1 + sin) sec and tan are defined so cos is non-zero. 1/cos + sin/cos = cos/(1 + sin) (1 + sin)/cos = cos/(1 + sin) cross-multiplying, (1 + sin)2 = cos2 (1 + sin)2 = 1 - sin2 1 + 2sin + sin2 = 1 - sin2 2sin2 + 2sin = 0 sin2 + sin = 0 sin(sin + 1) = 0 so sin = 0 or sin = -1 But sin = -1 implies that cos = 0 and cos is non-zero. Therefore sin = 0 or the solutions are k*pi radians where k is an integer.
