Hey guys im new here , so please help me out.

I know this might be easy , but I am kinda confused.

Two questions -

1. Sec 37x/6 , what is the exact value

please explain how to do ..

I know you got take 2pi/6 then find what is the greatest multiple. then I dont know what to do!

thank you!

$\sec\left(\frac{37x}{6}\right)$ or $\sec\left(\frac{37\pi}{6}\right)$ ???

$\frac{37\pi}{6} = 6\pi + \frac{\pi}{6}$

so ...

$\sec\left(\frac{37\pi}{6}\right) = \sec\left(\frac{\pi}{6}\right)$

because $\frac{37\pi}{6}$ is coterminal with $\frac{\pi}{6}$.

3. oh bother , im sorry. I meant 37PI/6 , please find the exact value. Use the fact the trigonometric functions are periodic.

4. OH yeah , The answer in the answer sheet is 2(underoot 3) / 3

5. you should know how to find the value of $\sec\left(\frac{\pi}{6}\right)$

it's the reciprocal of $\cos\left(\frac{\pi}{6}\right)$

correct?

6. sorry dude i dont know how to find the sec of pi/6 please help!

$\sec \frac{\pi}{6} = \frac{1}{\cos \frac{\pi}{6}}$.

It's expected that you know the value of $\cos \frac{\pi}{6}$.

8. If i use the calc , I can find tht is is 3pi/2 but how do I find this by an equation....

9. $\cos \frac {\pi}{6}=\frac {\sqrt{3}}{2}$ try remembering the ratios...

See this for further help..
