- Let
A=41k=0∑10sec(127π+2kπ)sec(127π+2(k+1)π).
We need to find
sec−1(A)
in the interval [−4π,43π].
- Simplify the general term.
Let
θk=127π+2kπ.
Then the (k+1)th angle is
θk+2π.
So,
secθksec(θk+2π).
Now,
cos(θ+2π)=−sinθ
therefore
sec(θ+2π)=cos(θ+π/2)1=−cscθ.
Hence,
secθsec(θ+2π)=secθ(−cscθ)=−sinθcosθ1.
Using sin2θ=2sinθcosθ,
−sinθcosθ1=−sin2θ2=−2csc2θ.
So each term becomes
secθksec(θk+2π)=−2csc(2θk).
- Compute 2θk:
2θk=2(127π+2kπ)=67π+kπ.
Thus,
sin(2θk)=sin(67π+kπ)=(−1)ksin67π=(−1)k(−21)=2(−1)k+1.
Therefore,
csc(2θk)=sin(2θk)1=2(−1)k+1.
Hence,
secθksec(θk+2π)=−2⋅2(−1)k+1=4(−1)k.
- So the sum becomes
k=0∑10sec(127π+2kπ)sec(127π+2(k+1)π)=k=0∑104(−1)k.
Thus,
A=41k=0∑104(−1)k=k=0∑10(−1)k.
Now,
k=0∑10(−1)k=1−1+1−1+1−1+1−1+1−1+1=1.
So,
A=1.
- Therefore,
sec−1(A)=sec−1(1).
We need the value in the interval [−4π,43π].
Since
sec0=1,
and 0 lies in the given interval, we get
sec−1(1)=0.
- Final answer:
0
