What is the value of sec(x)?

Question

If sin(x) cot(x) = 1/4, what is the value of sec(x)?

Answer 1

First, rewrite cot(x) in terms of sin(x) and cos(x). You should notice that something has canceled and you're left with a very basic trigonometric function. 

 

This function should be related to sec(x) pretty simply. Remember, sec(x) is defined as 1/cos(x).
