sec(-(11pi)/4)

sec (- \frac{11 π}{4})

- 2

Decimal Notation

- 1.41421 \dots

Solution steps

sec (- \frac{11 π}{4})

Use the following property:

sec (- x) = sec (x)

sec (- \frac{11 π}{4}) = sec (\frac{11 π}{4})

= sec (\frac{11 π}{4})

sec (\frac{11 π}{4}) = sec (\frac{3 π}{4})

sec (\frac{11 π}{4})

Rewrite

\frac{11 π}{4}

2 π + \frac{3 π}{4}

= sec (2 π + \frac{3 π}{4})

Apply the periodicity of

sec

sec (x + 2 π) = sec (x)

sec (2 π + \frac{3 π}{4}) = sec (\frac{3 π}{4})

= sec (\frac{3 π}{4})

= sec (\frac{3 π}{4})

Use the following trivial identity:

sec (\frac{3 π}{4}) = - 2

sec (\frac{3 π}{4})

sec (x)
