Question 836862: Simplify the square root of x squared plus 1 after substituting tan theta for x and assuming theta is greater than 0 degrees but less than 90 degrees.
I get [sec0] - the absolute value of sec theta, but the computer says this is wrong.

Simplify the square root of x squared plus 1 after substituting tan theta for x and assuming theta is greater than 0 degrees but less than 90 degrees.
------
sqrt[tan^2(x)+1] = sqrt[sec^2(x)] = sec(x)
