Understanding the Secant Function: How to Find the Value of sec(x) Given cos(x)

b/c Cos

The term “b/c Cos” is not clear

The term “b/c Cos” is not clear. It seems like you might be referring to the reciprocal trigonometric function of cosine, which is secant.

The secant function (sec) is the reciprocal of the cosine function. It is defined as:

sec(x) = 1 / cos(x)

So, if you would like to find the value of sec(x) given a value for cos(x), you can simply take the reciprocal of the cosine value.

For example, let’s say cos(x) = 0.5, and you want to find the value of sec(x). You can calculate it as follows:

sec(x) = 1 / cos(x)
sec(x) = 1 / 0.5
sec(x) = 2

Therefore, sec(x) is equal to 2 when cos(x) is 0.5.

Please let me know if you were referring to something else or need further clarification.
