$\sec\left(-\frac{4\pi}{5}\right)$

Select the expression with the same value as the given expression.

$\sin\left(-38\degree\right)$

Use the Pythagorean identities to rewrite the expression as a single term.

$\left(1+\csc\theta\right)\left(1-\csc\theta\right)$

Use the Pythagorean identities to rewrite the expression with no fraction.

$\frac{1}{1-\sec\theta}$

Simplify the expression.

$\tan^2\theta-\sec^2\theta+1$

Simplify the expression.

$\frac{\tan\left(-\theta\right)}{\sec\left(-\theta\right)}$
