For all real numbers x except x=0 and x=1 the function f is defined by f(x/x-1)=1/x . Suppose 0<=t<=pi/2. Given that f(sec^(2)t)=(g(theta))^2 for some trigonometric function g, find g.
Enter your answer as one of the six options: sin, cos, tan, sec, csc, cot

f(xx−1)=1xwherex≠0,x≠1Given0<=t<=π2andf(sec2t)=(g(θ))2Determine the function g
[The LaTex less than or equal to command is not working ... that is weird]
I have also found this question confusing:
But this is what I have
sec2t=xx−1xsec2t−sec2t=xxsec2t−x=sec2tx(sec2t−1)=sec2tx=sec2tsec2t−1sof(sec2t)=sec2t−1sec2t=1−cos2t=sin2tsog(t)=sin(t)g(θ)=sin(θ)
LaTex
f(\frac{x}{x-1})=\frac{1}{x}\qquad where \;\;\;x\ne0\quad, x\ne1\\
Given\;\; 0<=t <= \frac{\pi}{2}\\
and\\
f(sec^2t)=(g(\theta))^2\qquad \text{Determine the function } g
sec^2t=\frac{x}{x-1}\\
xsec^2t-sec^2t=x\\
xsec^2t-x=sec^2t\\
x(sec^2t-1)=sec^2t\\
x=\frac{sec^2t}{sec^2t-1}\\
so\\
f(sec^2t)=\frac{sec^2t-1}{sec^2t}=1-cos^2t=sin^2t\\
so\\g(t)=sin(t)\\
g(\theta)=sin(\theta)
