How to use even and odd identities to solve a trig equation with secant

The video tutorial explains the concept of even and odd functions, focusing on secant and cosine. It highlights the use of identities to understand these functions and discusses the reciprocal relationship between secant and cosine. The tutorial also covers how to use the unit circle to find specific cosine values and solve for angles using reference angles. The instructor emphasizes understanding these concepts to avoid confusion and solve problems effectively.

Explain how the secant of a negative angle relates to the secant of the angle itself.
