Answer:

b. x=\frac{5\pi}{6}

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is

\sec x=-\frac{2\sqrt{3} }{3},\:\:for\:\:\frac{\pi}{2}\le x \le \pi

Recall that the reciprocal of the cosine ratio is the secant ratio.

This implies that;

\frac{1}{\cos x}=-\frac{2\sqrt{3} }{3}

\Rightarrow \cos x=-\frac{3}{2\sqrt{3} }

\Rightarrow \cos x=-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}

We take the inverse cosine of both sides to obtain;

x=\cos^{-1}(-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2})

x=\frac{5\pi}{6}
