Evaluating Inverse Secant Functions

The video tutorial explains how to evaluate inverse secant function values using reference triangles and the unit circle. It covers the evaluation of inverse secant for values like -2√3/3, -√2, 2, and 1, using 30-60-90 and 45-45-90 triangles, and the unit circle. The tutorial emphasizes understanding the secant function's properties in different quadrants and rationalizing expressions for easier evaluation.
