Given an angle θ in the unit circle, find the secant of θ, where θ is in the interval [0, 2π] Provide your answer in three different forms
To find the secant of angle $\theta$, we start by recalling that $\sec(\theta) = \frac{1}{\cos(\theta)}$.
Let’s consider an angle $\theta = \frac{5\pi}{4}$.
First, we find $\cos(\frac{5\pi}{4})$:
$$\cos(\frac{5\pi}{4}) = -\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$$
Thus, $$\sec(\frac{5\pi}{4}) = \frac{1}{-\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}} = -\sqrt{2}$$
Therefore, $$\sec(\frac{5\pi}{4}) = -\sqrt{2}$$
