The mathematical pun here is deliciously painful. The expression 1/cos is indeed equivalent to the trigonometric function "secant" (abbreviated as "sec"). So when asked how long it takes to simplify this expression, the student responds with "one sec" - which is both the correct mathematical answer AND the universal way of asking someone to wait briefly. Mathematics doesn't usually produce dad jokes this efficient, but when it does, they're... *puts on sunglasses*... absolutely radical.
One Secant
