    If someone didn’t learn enough trigonometry in school:

    1+tan2c = cos2c/cos2c + sin2c/cos2c = (cos2c + sin2c)/cos2c = 1/cos2c;

    sqrt(1/cos2c) = |sec c|

    And here is for the people who still don't get the joke

    The reading of the answer is very similar to the word “sexy”, which makes the whole sentence a reference to the song “Sexy and I Know It” by LMFAO.

      Thanks for this! While I absolutely love science, math is why I never pursued it.

      That and I’m waaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyy too stupid. Lol

      I was in advanced math classes from like 4th grade all the way up to AP Calc 2 my junior year. Aced all of them except trig. I just could not wrap my head around it.

        Trig isn’t that bad? It’s just about relationships between angles and triangles/circles. If you learn SOH CAH TOA and what the inverses are/mean you’ve pretty much got it.

          I struggle with trig because it’s a lot of memorization. The fundamentals are pretty easy, but I never remember the unit circle and I never remember all of the identities.

          Yeah, I’m just very spatially-challenged, and I think that’s where my academic understanding and actual understanding breaks down.
