Reciprocal Trigonometric Functions
There are three reciprocal trigonometric functions, making a total of six including cosine, sine, and tangent.
The reciprocal cosine function is secant: secθ = 1/cosθ.
The reciprocal sine function is cosecant, cscθ = 1/sinθ.
The reciprocal tangent function is cotangent, expressed two ways: cotθ = 1/tanθ or cotθ = cosθ/sinθ.
