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.
