Answer 1

Answer:

B squareroot2

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The value of tangent theta is equal to the negative 1.  At this value the value of secant theta is $\sqrt{2}$.

What is tangent theta?

The tangent theta in a triangle is the ratio of sine theta and cos theta. It can be written as,

$\rm tan\theta=\dfrac{sin \theta}{cos \theta}$

Given information-

The value of tangent theta is equal to the negative 1.

$\tan \theta=-1$

The tangent theta in a triangle is the ratio of sine theta and cos theta. It can be written as,

$\rm tan\theta=\dfrac{sin \theta}{cos \theta}$

The value of tangent theta is equal to the negative 1. Thus put the value in above expression as,

$\rm -1=\dfrac{sin \theta}{cos \theta}$

Simplify it further as,

$\rm -cos \theta=sin \theta$

When the value of cosine and sine theta is equal, then the angle exist in 4th quadrant with the value of $\dfrac{7\pi}{4}$. Which extent to the $\sqrt{2}/2$ for the cosine function.

In the trigonometry cosine theta is the reciprocal of the secant theta. Thus,

$\rm \dfrac{1}{sec\theta}=\dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\\sec\theta=\sqrt{2}$

Thus the value of secant theta is $\sqrt{2}$
