How do you simplify sec(tan^(-1)(x))sec(tan−1(x)) ? Geometry Right Triangles and Trig Sine, Cosine and Tangent Functions 1 Answer Guillaume L. Aug 8, 2018 sec(tan^(-1)(x))=sqrt(x^2+1)sec(tan−1(x))=√x2+1 Explanation: sec(tan^(-1)(x))sec(tan−1(x)) let y=tan^(-1)(x)y=tan−1(x) x=tan(y)x=tan(y) x=sin(y)/cos(y)x=sin(y)cos(y) x^2=sin(y)^2/cos(y)^2x2=sin(y)2cos(y)2 x^2+1=(cancel(cos(y)^2+sin(y)^2)^(=1))/cos(y)^2 x^2+1=sec(y)^2 sqrt(x^2+1)=sec(y)=sec(tan^(-1)(x)) \0/ Here's our answer !
