Step 3.2.1

The exact value of

$\sec (\frac{π}{3})$ is

$2$ .

$\ln (| 2 + \tan (\frac{π}{3}) |) - \ln (| \sec (0) + \tan (0) |)$

Step 3.2.2

The exact value of

$\tan (\frac{π}{3})$ is

$\sqrt{3}$ .

$\ln (| 2 + \sqrt{3} |) - \ln (| \sec (0) + \tan (0) |)$

Step 3.2.3

The exact value of

$\sec (0)$ is

$1$ .

$\ln (| 2 + \sqrt{3} |) - \ln (| 1 + \tan (0) |)$

Step 3.2.4

The exact value of

$\tan (0)$ is

$0$ .

$\ln (| 2 + \sqrt{3} |) - \ln (| 1 + 0 |)$

Step 3.2.5

Add

$1$ and

$0$ .

$\ln (| 2 + \sqrt{3} |) - \ln (| 1 |)$

Step 3.2.6

Use the quotient property of logarithms,

$\log_{b} (x) - \log_{b} (y) = \log_{b} (\frac{x}{y})$ .

Step 3.3.1

$2 + \sqrt{3}$ is approximately

$3.7320508$ which is positive so remove the absolute value

$\ln (\frac{2 + \sqrt{3}}{| 1 |})$

Step 3.3.2

The absolute value is the distance between a number and zero. The distance between

$0$ and

$1$ is

$1$ .
