Oh it's a theta not a zero! Just write it out using trig angle formulas We know sec = 1/cos so \[\large sec(\frac{\pi}{2} - \theta) = \frac{1}{cos(\frac{\pi}{2} - \theta)}\] And we know that \(\large cos(\alpha - \beta) = cos(\alpha)cos(\beta) + sin(\alpha)sin(\beta)\) so we just need to expand the bottom and simplify

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\sec \left( \frac{ \pi }{ 2 }-0 \right)=\csc 0\]
