Question
Evaluate the following:
$\sec\Big(\sin^{-1}\frac{12}{13}\Big)$

Answer

$\sec\Big(\sin^{-1}\frac{12}{13}\Big)$
$=\sec\Bigg[\cos^{-1}\sqrt{1-\Big(\frac{12}{13}\Big)^2}\Bigg]$ $\Big[\because\ \sin^{-1}\text{x}=\cos^{-1}\sqrt{1-\text{x}^2}\Big]$
$=\sec\Big[\cos^{-1}\Big(\sqrt{1-\frac{144}{169}}\Big)\Big]$
$=\sec\Big[\cos^{-1}\Big(\sqrt{\frac{25}{169}}\Big)\Big]$
$=\sec\Big[\cos^{-1}\frac{5}{13}\Big]$
$=\sec\Big[\sec^{-1}\frac{13}{5}\Big]$
$=\frac{13}{5}$
