sec˛x - sec˛x·sin˛x To put that in your calculator (1/cos(x))˛-(1/cos(x))˛(sin(x))˛ To graph that on a TI-83 or 84, don't press GRAPH, but instead press ZOOM, then press 7 Factor out sec˛x sec˛x(1 - sin˛x) Use the identity: cos˛x + sin˛x = 1 and solve for cos˛x cos˛x = 1 - sin˛x So replace 1 - sin˛x by cos˛x sec˛x(cos˛x) Then replace sec˛x by(cos˛x)· = = 1 The constant 1. However, sec˛x - sec˛x·sin˛x is not defined as 1 or as any number at all when x = any odd multiple of 90° if you're using degrees or if you're using radians. Edwin
