Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given sinα=−2/3, before we can get secα, we need to get the value of α first from sinα=−2/3.
[tex]sin \alpha = -2/3[/tex]
Taking the arcsin of both sides
[tex]sin^{-1}(sin\alpha) = sin^{-1} -2/3\\ \\\alpha = sin^{-1} -2/3\\ \\\alpha = -41.8^0[/tex]
Since sin is negative in the 3rd and 4th quadrant. In the 3rd quadrant;
α = 180°+41.8°
α = 221.8° which is between the range 270°<α<360°
secα = sec 221.8°
secα = 1/cos 221.8
secα = 1.34
