Question

Sort the given values of $\sec x$ in ascending order of it's values.

• A. $\sec {272}^{\circ }$
• B. $\sec {180}^{\circ }$
• C. $\sec {60}^{\circ }$
• D. $\sec {135}^{\circ }$
• E. $\sec {100}^{\circ }$

Answer 1

Given: various values of $\sec x$ and we have to arrange them in ascending order.
Let's take the help of the graph of $\sec x$ for the same:


Thus, from the graph it's quite obvious the order of the given trigonometric ratios is:
$\sec {272}^{\circ };\sec {60}^{\circ };\sec {180}^{\circ };\sec {135}^{\circ };\sec {100}^{\circ }$
