Question

Hola!
Gimme the properties of sec(x). the trigonometric function
​

Answer 1

HEY :-)

Sec x → Secent x

☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺

Secx = H/A

In a right triangle, the secant of an angle is the length of the hypotenuse divided by the length of the adjacent side. In a formula, it is abbreviated to just 'sec'.

Of the six possible trigonometric functions, secant, cotangent, and cosecant, are rarely used. In fact, most calculators have no button for them, and software function libraries do not include them.

They can be easily replaced with derivations of the more common three: sin, cos and tan.

Secant can be derived as the reciprocal of cosine:

 sec  x = 1/Cosx
