The given expression is

[tex]sec\frac{3\pi}{2}[/tex]

Since sec is the opposite of cosine, then

[tex]sec\frac{3\pi}{2}=\frac{1}{cos\frac{3\pi}{2}}[/tex]

Since the value of cos(3pi/2) is 0, then

[tex]\begin{gathered} cos\frac{3\pi}{2}=0 \\ \\ sec(\frac{3\pi}{2})=\frac{1}{cos\frac{3\pi}{2}}=\frac{1}{0} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Since 1/0 is an undefined value, then

The answer is undefined
