how come sec inverse is equal to cos inverse

OpenStudy (mertsj):

It isn't

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then what is it equal to?

OpenStudy (freckles):

\[y=\sec^{-1}(x) => \sec(y)=x =>\frac{1}{\cos(y)}=x \] \[=>\frac{1}{x}=\cos(y) => \cos^{-1}(\frac{1}{x})=y\]

OpenStudy (freckles):

\[=> \sec^{-1}(x)=\cos^{-1}(\frac{1}{x})\]
