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.
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 American spelling of reciprocal?
You spell it like "Reciprocal".
Is there a number that is equal to its reciprocal?
1 is a number that is equal to its reciprocal, 1. Just for future references, a reciprocal is sort of like the inverse of a number. 10 is 10/1 so the reciprocal would be 1/10. 1 is 1/1 so the reciprocal is 1.

What is the reciprocal of a tangent?
It is the cotangent function.
Which parent function is represented by the graph?
Reciprocal parent 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
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.
What is the American spelling of reciprocal?
You spell it like "Reciprocal".
What is the product of a trigonometric function and its reciprocal?
The product of any object and its reciprocal is always the identity. In the case of numbers, 1 (one).
What are characteristics of the graph of the reciprocal parent function?
It is a hyperbola, it is in quadrants I and II
What is the difference between a reciprocal function and an inverse function?
A reciprocal function will flip the original function (reciprocal of 3/5 is 5/3). An inverse function will change the x's and y's of the original function (the inverse of x<4,y>8 is y<4, x>8). Whenever a function is reflected over the line y=x, the result is the inverse of that function. The y=x line starts at the origin (0,0) and has a positive slope of one. All an inverse does is flip the domain and range.
