sec(-(23pi)/6)

Solution

sec (- \frac{23 π}{6})

Solution

\frac{2 3}{3}

Decimal Notation

1.15470 \dots

Solution steps

sec (- \frac{23 π}{6})

Use the following property:

sec (- x) = sec (x)

sec (- \frac{23 π}{6}) = sec (\frac{23 π}{6})

= sec (\frac{23 π}{6})

sec (\frac{23 π}{6}) = sec (\frac{11 π}{6})

sec (\frac{23 π}{6})

Rewrite

\frac{23 π}{6}

2 π + \frac{11 π}{6}

= sec (2 π + \frac{11 π}{6})

Apply the periodicity of

sec

sec (x + 2 π) = sec (x)

sec (2 π + \frac{11 π}{6}) = sec (\frac{11 π}{6})

= sec (\frac{11 π}{6})

= sec (\frac{11 π}{6})

Rewrite using trig identities:

\frac{1}{cos ( \frac{11 π}{6} )}

sec (\frac{11 π}{6})

Use the basic trigonometric identity:

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

= \frac{1}{cos ( \frac{11 π}{6} )}

= \frac{1}{cos ( \frac{11 π}{6} )}

Rewrite using trig identities:

cos (\frac{11 π}{6}) = \frac{3}{2}

cos (\frac{11 π}{6})

Rewrite using trig identities:

cos (π) cos (\frac{5 π}{6}) - sin (π) sin (\frac{5 π}{6})

cos (\frac{11 π}{6})

Write

cos (\frac{11 π}{6})

cos (π + \frac{5 π}{6})

= cos (π + \frac{5 π}{6})

Use the Angle Sum identity:

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

= cos (π) cos (\frac{5 π}{6}) - sin (π) sin (\frac{5 π}{6})

= cos (π) cos (\frac{5 π}{6}) - sin (π) sin (\frac{5 π}{6})

Use the following trivial identity:

cos (π) = (- 1)

Apply radical rule:

a a = a

33 = 3

= 3

= \frac{2 3}{3}

= \frac{2 3}{3}

= \frac{2 3}{3}
