\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"r=sec%28theta%29%2Atan%5E2%28theta%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "First convert the expression into terms of \"cos%28theta%29+\"and \"sin%28theta%29\"...............\"sec%28theta%29=1%2Fcos%28theta%29+\"and \"tan%5E2%28theta%29=sin%5E2%28theta%29%2Fcos%5E2%28theta%29\"\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Substituting these values into the expression above gives\r
