Simplify sec(0)

Problem

sec(0)

Solution

1. Identify the definition of the secant function in terms of the cosine function.

sec(x)=1/cos(x)

2. Substitute the given value x=0 into the definition.

sec(0)=1/cos(0)

3. Evaluate the cosine of 0 using the unit circle or trigonometric properties.

cos(0)=1

4. Simplify the resulting fraction.

sec(0)=1/1

sec(0)=1

Final Answer

sec(0)=1
