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

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 are the intervals of increase and decrease on a reciprocal parent function?

The reciprocal parent function, defined as ( f(x) = \frac{1}{x} ), increases on the interval ( (-\infty, 0) ) and decreases on the interval ( (0, \infty) ). Specifically, as ( x ) approaches zero from the left, ( f(x) ) approaches negative infinity, while as ( x ) moves right from zero, ( f(x) ) approaches positive infinity. Thus, the function has a vertical asymptote at ( x = 0 ), which separates these intervals of behavior.
