Which of the following best represents the value of arcsec 1.6 in degrees, using the standard restricted domain?

39°
51°
78°
128°

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]51\°[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

[tex]sec(x)=\frac{1}{cos(x)}[/tex]

In this problem we have

[tex]sec(x)=1.6[/tex]

so

[tex]x=arcsec(1.6)[/tex] -----> equation A

[tex]1.6=\frac{1}{cos(x)}[/tex]

[tex]cos(x)=\frac{1}{1.6}[/tex]

[tex]x=arccos(\frac{1}{1.6})[/tex] ---> equation B

equate equation A and equation B

[tex]arcsec(1.6)=arccos(\frac{1}{1.6})[/tex]

[tex]arcsec(1.6)=51\°[/tex]
