Reciprocal Trig Functions

Sine, cosine and tangent are functions. You input a value - an angle in radians, or degrees, and for each angle there is a value. They are repeating functions.

They also have reciprocal functions.

The reciprocal of sine x is cosec x and is (1/sin x)

The reciprocal of cosine x is secant x and is (1/cos x)

The reciprocal of tan x is cotangent x (cot x) and is (1/tan x).
