Answer

x

Work Step by Step

Let $\cos ^ {–1} \frac{1}{x} = \theta$, then, $\cos \theta = \frac{1}{x}$ To evaluate, $\sec (\cos ^ {–1} \frac{1}{x}) = \sec\theta$ We know that, $\sec \theta = \frac{1}{\cos \theta}$ Using above relations we get $\sec \theta = \frac{1}{\frac{1}{x}}$ $=> \sec \theta = x$
