$$\left.{sec}\:{a}=\frac{\mathrm{2}{xy}}{{x}^{\mathrm{2}} +{y}^{\mathrm{2}} }\in\right]−\mathrm{1},\mathrm{1}\left[\Rightarrow\right. \\ $$$$\frac{\mathrm{2}{xy}}{{x}^{\mathrm{2}} +{y}^{\mathrm{2}} }\leqslant−\mathrm{1}\Rightarrow\mathrm{2}{xy}\leqslant−{x}^{\mathrm{2}} −{y}^{\mathrm{2}} \Rightarrow\left({x}+{y}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} \leqslant\mathrm{0} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow{x}=−{y} \\ $$$$\frac{\mathrm{2}{xy}}{{x}^{\mathrm{2}} +{y}^{\mathrm{2}} }\geqslant\mathrm{1}\Rightarrow\mathrm{2}{xy}\geqslant{x}^{\mathrm{2}} +{y}^{\mathrm{2}} \Rightarrow\mathrm{0}\geqslant\left({x}−{y}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow{x}={y} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\Rightarrow{x}=\pm{y} \\ $$

$$\mathrm{sec}\:\alpha\:=\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{cos}\:\alpha}\:\Rightarrow\:\mathrm{sec}\:\alpha\:\in\left(−\infty,\:−\mathrm{1}\right]\cup\left[\mathrm{1},\:\infty\right) \\ $$

$$\mathrm{sec}\:\theta\:=\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{cos}\:\theta} \\ $$$$\mathrm{cos}\:\theta\:=\frac{{x}^{\mathrm{2}} +{y}^{\mathrm{2}} }{\mathrm{2}{xy}}={c} \\ $$$${x}^{\mathrm{2}} +{y}^{\mathrm{2}} =\mathrm{2}{cxy} \\ $$$${y}^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{2}{cxy}+{x}^{\mathrm{2}} =\mathrm{0} \\ $$$${y}=\left({c}\pm\sqrt{{c}^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{1}}\right){x} \\ $$$${y}=\left(\mathrm{cos}\:\theta\:\pm\mathrm{i}\:\mathrm{sin}\:\theta\right){x} \\ $$$${y}\in\mathbb{R}\:\Rightarrow\:\theta={n}\pi\:\Rightarrow\:\mathrm{cos}\:\theta\:=\pm\mathrm{1}\:\Rightarrow\:{y}=\pm{x} \\ $$
