The correct Answer is:
To find the set of values of \( \sec^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{2}\right) \), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the function The function \( \sec^{-1}(x) \) is the inverse of the secant function. The secant function, \( \sec(\theta) \), is defined as: \[ \sec(\theta) = \frac{1}{\cos(\theta)} \] The range of \( \sec^{-1}(x) \) is defined for \( x \leq -1 \) or \( x \geq 1 \). ### Step 2: Check the value \( \frac{1}{2} \) We need to check if \( \frac{1}{2} \) falls within the valid range of the secant function. Since \( \frac{1}{2} \) is between -1 and 1, it does not fall within the acceptable range for the secant function. ### Step 3: Conclusion Since \( \frac{1}{2} \) is not in the range of \( \sec(\theta) \), it implies that there is no angle \( \theta \) such that \( \sec(\theta) = \frac{1}{2} \). Therefore, the set of values of \( \sec^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{2}\right) \) is empty. ### Final Answer The set of values of \( \sec^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{2}\right) \) is: \[ \emptyset \quad \text{(null set)} \] ---
