Evaluate sec(sin^-1(12/13))
Evaluate sec(sin⁻¹(12/13)) Problem Evaluate: \( \sec\left(\sin^{-1}\left(\frac{12}{13}\right)\right) \) Solution Let \( \theta = \sin^{-1}\left(\frac{12}{13}\right) \) Then: \[ \sin \theta = \frac{12}{13} \] Construct a right triangle: Opposite = 12 Hypotenuse = 13 Adjacent: \[ \sqrt{13^2 – 12^2} = \sqrt{169 – 144} = \sqrt{25} = 5 \] Now, \[ \cos \theta = \frac{5}{13} \] \[ \sec \theta […]
