prove sec(pi+x)=-sinx

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[ \sec (\pi+x) = - \sec x\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how do i prove it though?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

help

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[ \sec x = \frac{1}{\cos x} \] \[ \cos ( \pi + x) = \cos \pi \cos x - \sin \pi \sin x = - \cos x \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but i wanna find -secx..or is it the same?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

put \( \pi +x\) in place of x in sec in the above ...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it this the answer then?
