if tan theta is 4, what is sec theta?
$${\left({\mathtt{1}}{\mathtt{\,\small\textbf+\,}}{{\mathtt{4}}}^{{\mathtt{2}}}\right)}^{\left({\frac{{\mathtt{1}}}{{\mathtt{2}}}}\right)} = {{\mathtt{17}}}^{\left({\frac{{\mathtt{1}}}{{\mathtt{2}}}}\right)}$$
If tanΘ = 4......then (x,y) equals either (1,4) or (-1, -4)
And r = √[x2 + y2] = √17 ..... so secΘ = r/x = ±(√17)/1 = ±(√17)
