The answer is cos A .
cos A = 1/ (sec A)
Sin(A) = Opposite/Hypotenuse Its reciprotcal is 1/Sin(A) = Cosecant(A) = Csc(A) = Hypotenuse / Opposite. Similarly Cos(A) = Adjacent/Hypotenuse Its reciprotcal is 1/Cos(A) = Secant(A) = Sec(A) = Hypotenuse / Adjacent Tan(A) = Opposite/Adjacent Its reciprotcal is 1/Tan(A) = Cotangent(A) = Cot(A) = Adjacent / Opposite.
Sine Its reciprocal is Cosecant Algebraically Sin ; Reciprocal is '1/ Sin' known as 'Cosecant(Csc)'. Similarly Cos(Cosine) ; 1/ Cos (Secant(Sec)) Tan(Tangent) ; 1/ Tan ( Cotangent(Cot)).
Trigonometry includes 12 baisic functions. Sine, Cosine, and Tangent are the three most baisic. Each of those functions has a reciprocal. Cosine's reciprocal is Secant, Sine reciprocal is Cosecant, and Tangent's reciprocal is Cotangent. Each of those six functions has an inverse funcion called Inverse Sine, Cos etc... or Arcsine, Arcosine, Arcsecant, etc.... The shorthand for each function is sin, caos, tan, sec, csc, cot. The inverses have a -1 notation like sin-1.
The reciprocal of the tangent is the cotangent, or cot. We might write 1/tan = cot.
The cotangent function is the reciprocal of the tangent function, so cot(115 degrees) is equivalent to 1/tan(115 degrees). Since tan(115 degrees) is equivalent to -tan(65 degrees) due to the periodicity of the tangent function, cot(115 degrees) simplifies to -tan(65 degrees), which corresponds to option A.
0.25 no, 0.25 (or 1/4), is the reciprocal of 4. the reciprocal of 25 is 1/25
1/cos(x)=sec(x). sec is short for secant.
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.
The reciprocal of cosine is secant (short form: sec), which is the hypotenuse length divided by the adjacent length.
Reciprocal parent function
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).
There are no real life applications of reciprocal functions
Reciprocal of tangent is '1 /tangent' or ' Cosine / Sine '
Sin(A) = Opposite/Hypotenuse Its reciprotcal is 1/Sin(A) = Cosecant(A) = Csc(A) = Hypotenuse / Opposite. Similarly Cos(A) = Adjacent/Hypotenuse Its reciprotcal is 1/Cos(A) = Secant(A) = Sec(A) = Hypotenuse / Adjacent Tan(A) = Opposite/Adjacent Its reciprotcal is 1/Tan(A) = Cotangent(A) = Cot(A) = Adjacent / Opposite.
a dick
Find the cosine of 38 degrees and then find its reciprocal.
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.
