Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the value of sec(θ) if cos(θ) = 1/3?
  • Step 1: Understand that sec(θ) is the reciprocal of cos(θ).
  • Step 2: Write the formula for sec(θ): sec(θ) = 1/cos(θ).
  • Step 3: Substitute the given value of cos(θ) into the formula: sec(θ) = 1/(1/3).
  • Step 4: Simplify the expression: 1/(1/3) means you multiply 1 by the reciprocal of 1/3, which is 3.
  • Step 5: Therefore, sec(θ) = 3.
