How to Find sec(π)?

Published in Trigonometry 1 min read

The secant of pi, denoted as sec(π), is equal to -1.

Here's how to find it:

The secant function is defined as the reciprocal of the cosine function. Therefore, sec(x) = 1/cos(x).

To find sec(π), we need to determine the value of cos(π). The cosine of π (180 degrees) is -1.

Therefore, sec(π) = 1/cos(π) = 1/(-1) = -1.
