    The fundamental identities that are useful are

    Pythagorean relations: cos^2 x + sin^2 x = 1

    Inverse trigo identity: cos x = 1/secx

    Applying the pythagorean theorem, the equation would be:

    7sec^2 x (cos^2 x)

    Then applying the inverse trigo identity, the answer would be 7.

    Thus, the final answer is 7.
