Transcript text: Write the trigonometric expression as an algebraic expression in $u$.
\[
\sec \left(\sin ^{-1} u\right)
\]
$\sec \left(\sin ^{-1} u\right)=$ $\square$ (Type an exact answer, using radicals as needed.)
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Identify the Trigonometric Identity
Step 2: Express the Trigonometric Function in Terms of \(u\)
Given that \(x = asin^-1(u)\), we express \(\sec(x)\) in terms of \(u\).
Step 3: Solve for the Desired Trigonometric Function
By algebraic manipulation, we find that \(\sec(asin^-1(u)) = 1/sqrt(1 - u^2)\).
Step 4: Consider the Domain and Range
Ensure the solution is within the domain and range of the original and inverse trigonometric functions.
Final Answer: \(\sec(asin^-1(u)) = (1 - u^2)^(-0.5)\)
