Answer:

+- 5/3

Explanation:

When we construct a right triangle with legs with length 3 and 4. The hypoteneuse must 5. Since tan(x) = opp/adj = 4/3 and sec(x) = hyp/adj,

We get the answer to be 5/3. Now there is a +- there because if we use the unit circle, if we take the point (-3, -4), we get tan(x) = (-4/-3) = 4/3. However, the hypoteneuse for sec(x) is always positive so sec(x) = 5/-3 = -5/3.

That is why there are two solutions, one with the terminal arm in Q3 and one in Q1. But that's the explanation using the unit circle.

3rd one

there we have to find hypotenuse.
