If costheta=4/5 then what is sec^2theta

Mathematics
1 answer:
DaniilM [7]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

\sec^2(\theta)=\frac{25}{16}

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall what the relationship between cosine and secant:

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

In other words, secant is the reciprocal of cosine.

So, if we know cosine, we only need to find its reciprocal to find secant.

We are given that cosine is:

\cos(\theta)=\frac{4}{5}

Then secant must be:

\sec(\theta)=\frac{5}{4}

So:

\sec^2(\theta)=(\frac{5}{4})^2

Square:

\sec^2(\theta)=\frac{25}{16}

And we're done!

Every time a square root results in a decimal, it will always never end, and never repeat. The square root of 35 qualifies for both of these qualities, therefore, making the answer (A). Hope this helps!
