Understanding Secant and Reference Angles

The video tutorial explains how to find the two smallest positive angles that satisfy the condition where the secant of angle a is less than zero, and the reference angle is 1.0687 radians. It covers the properties of the secant function, its relation to cosine, and how the sign of x affects the secant value. The tutorial guides through finding the smallest positive angle in the second quadrant and the second smallest in the third quadrant, using the reference angle. Finally, it provides decimal approximations for these angles.

What is the reference angle given in the problem?

• 4.21 radians

• 2.0729 radians

• 1.0687 radians

• 3.14 radians
