Question

How do i convert (csc x) to (sec x) ?

Answer 1

would i have to go 1/sin x = csc x then use the sin^2x + cos^2x identity?

Answer 2

change it to cot=> change it to tan => change it to sec

Answer 3

is that the easiest way, experimentX?

Answer 4

wait wrong interpretation lol

Answer 5

ok :)

Answer 6

cscx
\[\frac{1}{sinx}~~~~,~~~~tanx=\frac{sinx}{cosx}\]
\[\frac{1}{tanxcosx}\]
\[cotxsecx\]

Answer 7

thanks a lot, so changing it to 1 over tanxcosx will = the sec of x?

Answer 8

my example is: csc = 2 sqrt3 /3, sec = ?

Answer 9

\[\frac{1}{(tanx)(cosx)}=\frac{cotx}{cosx}=cotx(secx)\]

Answer 10

Ok thanks a lot Sam, is it cool if i try to work it out and post it and you check it later to see if i did it right?

Answer 11

\[cscx = 2 \sqrt3 /3\]
\[\frac{1}{sinx}=\frac{2\sqrt3}{3}\]
\[sinx=\frac{3}{2\sqrt3}\]
\[sinx=\frac{\sqrt3}{2}\]
\[x=60,120\]
-----------------------------------
\[secx\]
\[\frac{1}{cosx}\]
\[\frac{1}{\cos60}~~~and~~~\frac{1}{\cos120}\]
\[2~~~and~~~-2\]
