Answer:


√(2)

Explanation:

we know that


tan^(2)(\theta)+1=sec^(2)(\theta)

we have


tan^(2)(\theta)=-1

substitute the value


(-1^(2))+1=sec^(2)(\theta)


(1)+1=sec^(2)(\theta)


sec^(2)(\theta)=2\\ \\sec(\theta)=(+/-)√(2)

Remember that

The angle theta belong to the III and IV quadrant, but the tangent is negative, therefore belong to the IV quadrant

so


sec(\theta) is positive

therefore


sec(\theta)=+√(2)
