2 sec(4pi/3)

hero (hero):

What exactly did they ask you to do here?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

to evaluate it

hero (hero):

Okay, so just use a calculator

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i kinda wanted to solve it without using it though

hero (hero):

The easiest way to do that is to simply replace \(\pi = 180\) Then you need to remember that \(\large\sec \theta = \frac{\text{hyp}}{\text{adj}}\)

hero (hero):

So drawing a right triangle is necessary.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So \[2\sqrt{3}/ 3\]

hero (hero):

What happened to the secant?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well yeah: 2sec 2rad3/3

hero (hero):

Where'd you get the extra 2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it was in the problem to begin with

hero (hero):

I don't know. I think you have an extra 2 inside of the secant function.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then how would you solve it -___-

hero (hero):

You don't know how to find the value of the secant

hero (hero):

What you came up with is not correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

obviously not, i'm asking. But as my overall answer i got -4 Have you finished solving it?

hero (hero):

Yes, that is correct. Looks like you corrected your own mistakes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh wow, yay
