Final answer:

The given algebraic expression, when substituted with x=2secθ-5a-2tanθ, can be written as a function of θ as 2secθ-5a-2tanθ+1.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given algebraic expression is √((x+5)^2)-4. We are asked to substitute x=2secθ-5a-2tanθ into the expression.

  1. First, substitute x=2secθ-5a-2tanθ into the expression:
    √(((2secθ-5a-2tanθ)+5)^2)-4
  2. Simplify the expression:
    √((2secθ-5a-2tanθ+5)^2)-4
  3. Expand the square:
    (2secθ-5a-2tanθ+5)-4
  4. Simplify:
    2secθ-5a-2tanθ+1

Therefore, the given algebraic expression, when substituted with x=2secθ-5a-2tanθ, can be written as a function of θ as 2secθ-5a-2tanθ+1.
