An arcsecant is a function which is the compositional inverse of the secant function.
y-axis
Secant is a trignometric function. In a right triangle, the secant of an angle is the hypotenuse over the adjacent side. It is also the inverse of cosine. For example secant(x) = 1/cos(x)
The inverse of the cosine is the secant.
The secant function is not defined for odd multipls of 90o.

No. The inverse of the secant is called the arc-secant. The relation between the secant and the cosecant is similar to the relation between the sine and the cosine - they are somehow related, but they are not inverse functions. The secant is the reciprocal of the cosine (sec x = 1 / cos x). The cosecant is the reciprocal of the sine (cos x = 1 / sin x).
The inverse of the cosine is the secant.

The trigonometric function most like an aristocrat who spends his summers on a yacht in the Caribbean would be the secant function. The secant function is the reciprocal of the cosine function and represents the longest side of a right triangle divided by the adjacent side. Just like how an aristocrat enjoys the luxuries and extravagance of a yacht in the Caribbean, the secant function is known for its reciprocal relationship and unique characteristics in trigonometry.
sine, cosine, tangent, cosecant, secant, cotangent.
The answer is cos A . cos A = 1/ (sec A)
I find it convenient to express other trigonometric functions in terms of sine and cosine - that tends to simplify things. The secant function is even because it is the reciprocal of the cosine function, which is even. The tangent function is the sine divided by the cosine - an odd function divided by an even function. Therefore it is odd. The cosecant is the reciprocal of an odd function, so it is naturally also an odd function.
