Question 24 • LAUSD-Pre-Calculus B (Prescriptive)

Which trigonometric function is equivalent to sec(-270) ?

Answer
A
sec(-120)
B
sec(60)
C
sec(-30)
D
sec(90)

Explanation

Angles that differ by 360° are coterminal, and −270° + 360° = 90°. Therefore, sec(−270°) is equivalent to sec(90°), which is choice d. Both secant values are undefined because the cosine of 90° is zero.
