sec(-pi/3)-cot(-(5pi)/4)

sec (- \frac{π}{3}) - cot (- \frac{5 π}{4})

3

Solution steps

sec (- \frac{π}{3}) - cot (- \frac{5 π}{4})

Use the following property:

cot (- x) = - cot (x)

cot (- \frac{5 π}{4}) = - cot (\frac{5 π}{4})

= sec (- \frac{π}{3}) - (- cot (\frac{5 π}{4}))

Use the following property:

sec (- x) = sec (x)

sec (- \frac{π}{3}) = sec (\frac{π}{3})

= sec (\frac{π}{3}) - (- cot (\frac{5 π}{4}))

cot (\frac{5 π}{4}) = cot (\frac{π}{4})

= sec (\frac{π}{3}) - (- cot (\frac{π}{4}))

Simplify

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

Use the following trivial identity:

sec (\frac{π}{3}) = 2

Use the following trivial identity:

cot (\frac{π}{4}) = 1

= 2 + 1

Simplify

= 3

49 cos (3 0^{\circ})

sec (- 5 π)

\frac{1}{sin ( 4 8 ^{\circ} )}

tan (28 0^{\circ})

\frac{5}{cos ( 5 0 ^{\circ} )}
