Question 866409: If sin[theta]= 3/8
what does sec[theta]+tan[theta] equal?
Am I on the right track?
Sin[theta]= y/r
(x)^2= (8)^2-(3)^2
x= square root of 55...

If sin[theta]= 3/8
what does sec[theta]+tan[theta] equal?
***
use x for theta:
sinx=3/8
cosx=√(1-sin^2x)=√(1-9/64)=√(55/64)=√55/8
secx=1/cosx=8/√55
tanx=sinx/cosx=3/√55
secx+tanx=(8/√55)+(3/√55)=11/√55
