Find the exact values of $ ext{arcsec}(2) $

Answer 1

Abigail Nelson

Isabella Walker

To find the exact value of $ \text{arcsec}(2) $, we need to determine the angle $ \theta $ such that $ \sec(\theta) = 2 $ and $ \theta $ lies within the range of secant

Answer 2

Alex Thompson

Benjamin Clark

To determine the value of $ ext{arcsec}(2) $, we need to find the angle $ heta $ such that $ sec( heta) = 2 $ within $ [0, pi/2) cup (pi/2, pi] $.

Given $ cos( heta) = frac{1}{2} $, we find $ heta = frac{pi}{3} $.

Thus:

$ ext{arcsec}(2) = frac{pi}{3} $

Answer 3

Amelia Mitchell

Henry Green

To solve $ ext{arcsec}(2) $, find $ heta $ where $ sec( heta) = 2 $ in $ [0, pi/2) cup (pi/2, pi] $.

Since $ cos( heta) = frac{1}{2} $, $ heta = frac{pi}{3} $.

Hence:

$ ext{arcsec}(2) = frac{pi}{3} $
