Respuesta :

Since no angle has a cosine of 2, the arcsecant of 0.5 is undefined, and the statement that [tex]\sec^{-1}{0.5}[/tex] is undefined is True.

What is the secant of an angle?

The secant of angle is given by one divided by the cosine of the angle, that is:

[tex]\sec{\theta} = \frac{1}{\cos{\theta}}[/tex]

The cosine of an angle has values ranging between -1 and 1, hence the values of the seccant are in the following interval:

[tex][1, \infty)[/tex]

The concept of the arcseccant, [tex]arcsec{x} = \theta[/tex] means that angle [tex]\theta[/tex] has a secant value of x.

In this problem, the expression is given by:

[tex]\sec^{-1}{0.5}[/tex]

No angle has a secant of 0.5, as 0.5 is not on the interval [tex][1, \infty)[/tex], hence the statement that [tex]\sec^{-1}{0.5}[/tex] is undefined is True.
