Your workings is actually not wrong as u obtained cos x = 0 or cos x = 1.

But u have to reject cos x = 0. This is because sec x = 1/cos x and for
sec x and sec^2 x to be defined, cos x cannot be 0.

Hope this helps and I have provided an alternative approach to solving this using the trigonometric Pythagorean identities.
