Problem 18 - Entrance Test

The maximum value of (1/sec A) is:

Correct: B

We know that 1/sec A is equivalent to cos A. The cosine function, cos A, has a defined range of values. For any angle A, the value of cos A always lies between -1 and 1, inclusive. That is, -1 ≤ cos A ≤ 1. Therefore, the maximum value that cos A (or 1/sec A) can attain is 1.
