Solution

- \frac{2 3}{3}

Decimal Notation

- 1.15470 \dots

Solution steps

sec (\frac{- 7 π}{6})

Simplify

= sec (- \frac{7 π}{6})

Use the following property:

sec (- x) = sec (x)

sec (- \frac{7 π}{6}) = sec (\frac{7 π}{6})

= sec (\frac{7 π}{6})

Rewrite using trig identities:

\frac{1}{cos ( \frac{7 π}{6} )}

sec (\frac{7 π}{6})

Use the basic trigonometric identity:

sec (x) = \frac{1}{cos ( x )}

= \frac{1}{cos ( \frac{7 π}{6} )}

= \frac{1}{cos ( \frac{7 π}{6} )}

Rewrite using trig identities:

cos (\frac{7 π}{6}) = - \frac{3}{2}

cos (\frac{7 π}{6})

Rewrite using trig identities:

cos (π) cos (\frac{π}{6}) - sin (π) sin (\frac{π}{6})

cos (\frac{7 π}{6})

Write

cos (\frac{7 π}{6})

cos (π + \frac{π}{6})

= cos (π + \frac{π}{6})

Use the Angle Sum identity:

cos (s + t) = cos (s) cos (t) - sin (s) sin (t)

= cos (π) cos (\frac{π}{6}) - sin (π) sin (\frac{π}{6})

= cos (π) cos (\frac{π}{6}) - sin (π) sin (\frac{π}{6})

Use the following trivial identity:

cos (π) = (- 1)

= \frac{1}{2}

= (- 1) \frac{3}{2} - 0 \cdot \frac{1}{2}

Simplify

= - \frac{3}{2}

= \frac{1}{- \frac{3}{2}}

Simplify

\frac{1}{- \frac{3}{2}} : - \frac{2 3}{3}

\frac{1}{- \frac{3}{2}}

Apply the fraction rule:

\frac{a}{- b} = - \frac{a}{b}

= - \frac{1}{\frac{3}{2}}

Apply the fraction rule:

\frac{1}{\frac{b}{c}} = \frac{c}{b}

\frac{1}{\frac{3}{2}} = \frac{2}{3}

= - \frac{2}{3}

Rationalize

- \frac{2}{3} : - \frac{2 3}{3}

- \frac{2}{3}

Multiply by the conjugate

\frac{3}{3}

= - \frac{2 3}{3 3}

33 = 3

Apply radical rule:

a a = a

33 = 3

= 3

= - \frac{2 3}{3}

= - \frac{2 3}{3}

= - \frac{2 3}{3}
