What is another way to represent secant? :)

whpalmer4 · Answer

Do you know the definition of $\sec \theta$?

anonymous · Answer

Not really. I am very new at this and have no idea what I'm doing.

anonymous · Answer

It's beginner's Trigonometry. What's another way to represent Secant? (As a fraction)

whpalmer4 · Answer

Okay, well, time to start learning :-)

$$\sec \theta = \frac{1}{\cos \theta}$$

anonymous · Answer

Going off of @whpalmer4 's comment, we have $$1/\cos \theta * \cos \theta = \cos \theta/\cos \theta$$ which is what?

anonymous · Answer

1?

whpalmer4 · Answer

Yes, that's correct.
