### Problem Statement:

Find the exact value of the trigonometric expression given that:
\[ \sin(u) = -\frac{3}{5}, \]
where \( \frac{3\pi}{2} < u < 2\pi \), and
\[ \cos(v) = \frac{15}{17}, \]
where \( 0 < v < \frac{\pi}{2} \).

### Expression to Find:
\[ \sec(v - u) \]

### Steps to Solve:

1. **Find the Cosine of \( u \)**:
   Given: \(\sin(u) = -\frac{3}{5}\).

   Using the Pythagorean identity:
   \[ \cos^2(u) + \sin^2(u) = 1, \]
   \[ \cos^2(u) = 1 - \sin^2(u), \]
   \[ \cos^2(u) = 1 - \left(-\frac{3}{5}\right)^2, \]
   \[ \cos^2(u) = 1 - \frac{9}{25}, \]
   \[ \cos^2(u) = \frac{16}{25}, \]
   \[ \cos(u) = \pm \frac{4}{5}. \]

   Since \( \frac{3\pi}{2} < u < 2\pi \) (fourth quadrant), where cosine is positive:
   \[ \cos(u) = \frac{4}{5}. \]

2. **Find the Sine of \( v \)**:
   Given: \( \cos(v) = \frac{15}{17} \).

   Using the Pythagorean identity:
   \[ \sin^2(v) + \cos^2(v) = 1, \]
   \[ \sin^2(v) = 1 - \cos^2(v), \]
   \[ \sin^2(v) = 1 - \left(\frac{15}{17}\right)^2, \]
   \[ \sin^2(v) = 1 - \frac{225}{289}, \]
   \[ \sin^2(v) = \frac{64}{289}, \]
   \[ \sin(v) = \pm \frac{
