The function sec(x) is the secant function. It is related to the other functions by the expression 1/cos(x). It is not the inverse cosine or arccosine, it is one over the cosine function. Ex. cos(pi/4)= sqrt(2)/2 therefore secant is sec(pi/4)= 1/sqrt(2)/2 or 2/sqrt(2).

Which trigonometric functions do not have real zeros?

The trigonometric functions that do not have real zeros are the cosine function ((\cos(x))) and the secant function ((\sec(x))). The cosine function is never zero for (x) values that correspond to integer multiples of (\frac{\pi}{2}), while the secant function, being the reciprocal of cosine, is undefined at those points. Therefore, both functions do not intersect the x-axis in the real number system.

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.


How do numbers affect the trigonometric function?

Trigonometric functions are defined from a numeric domain to a numeric range. So the input number determines whether or not the function is defined for that value and, if so, what the value of the function is.
