the reciprical function is the inverse of sorts of regular functions. Think of it this way. the reciprical of x, or x/1 is 1/x. The reciprical of 1/2= 2/1 or 2. Same thing follows here:
ex. f(x)=1/x , or f(x)=x^-1

Which parent function is represented by the graph?
Reciprocal parent function
What are characteristics of the graph of the reciprocal parent function?
It is a hyperbola, it is in quadrants I and II
What are the characteristics of the graph of the reciprocal parent function?
It is a reflection of the original graph in the line y = x.
What is a reciprocal trig function?
A reciprocal trigonometric function is the ratio of the reciprocal of a trigonometric function to either the sine, cosine, or tangent function. The reciprocal of the sine function is the cosecant function, the reciprocal of the cosine function is the secant function, and the reciprocal of the tangent function is the cotangent function. These functions are useful in solving trigonometric equations and graphing trigonometric functions.
What is the reciprocal of a tangent?
It is the cotangent function.
What is the reciprocal function of sin a?
Since sin(a)=opposite/hypotenuse, the reciprocal function is that function which is equal to hypotenuse/opposite. This is "cosecant", or csc(a). The reciprocal of sin(a) is csc(a). I will solve all your math problems. Check my profile for more info.
Real life application to the reciprocal function?
There are no real life applications of reciprocal functions
What does a reciprocal function look like?
a dick
What is the parent function for the exponential function?
The parent function of the exponential function is ax
Why will sin and cosecant have the same sign?
The cosecant is the reciprocal of the sine function. Now, the reciprocal of a positive number is positive, and the reciprocal of a negative number is negative.
What is a cotangent?
Cotangent is a trigonometric function. It is the reciprocal of the tangent.
What is the definention of reciprocal?
In Mathematics, "reciprocal" defines a quantity or function related to another so that their product is one. 2/3 is the reciprocal of 3/2 and vice versa.
