Answer

$sec~\theta = cosh~x$

Work Step by Step

Suppose that $x = ln(sec~\theta+tan~\theta)$ Then: $e^x = sec~\theta+tan~\theta$ $e^x = \frac{1}{cos~\theta}+\frac{sin~\theta}{cos~\theta}$ $e^x = \frac{1+sin~\theta}{cos~\theta}$ $e^x~cos~\theta-1 = sin~\theta$ $e^x~cos~\theta-1 = \sqrt{1-cos^2~\theta}$ $e^{2x}~cos^2~\theta-2e^x~cos~\theta+1 = 1-cos^2~\theta$ $(e^{2x}+1)~cos^2~\theta = 2e^x~cos~\theta$ $(e^{2x}+1)~cos~\theta = 2e^x$ $cos~\theta = \frac{2e^x}{e^{2x}+1}$ $sec~\theta = \frac{e^{2x}+1}{2e^x}$ $sec~\theta = \frac{e^x+1/e^x}{2}$ $sec~\theta = \frac{e^x+e^{-x}}{2}$ $sec~\theta = cosh~x$
