Reciprocal Identities

  • sin⁡θ\sin \thetasinθ is the reciprocal of csc⁡θ\csc \thetacscθ, meaning sin⁡θ=1csc⁡θ\sin \theta = \frac{1}{\csc \theta}sinθ=cscθ1​
  • csc⁡θ\csc \thetacscθ is the reciprocal of sin⁡θ\sin \thetasinθ, meaning csc⁡θ=1sin⁡θ\csc \theta = \frac{1}{\sin \theta}cscθ=sinθ1​
  • cos⁡θ\cos \thetacosθ is the reciprocal of sec⁡θ\sec \thetasecθ, meaning cos⁡θ=1sec⁡θ\cos \theta = \frac{1}{\sec \theta}cosθ=secθ1​
  • sec⁡θ\sec \thetasecθ is the reciprocal of cos⁡θ\cos \thetacosθ, meaning sec⁡θ=1cos⁡θ\sec \theta = \frac{1}{\cos \theta}secθ=cosθ1​
  • tan⁡θ\tan \thetatanθ is the reciprocal of cot⁡θ\cot \thetacotθ, meaning tan⁡θ=1cot⁡θ\tan \theta = \frac{1}{\cot \theta}tanθ=cotθ1​
  • cot⁡θ\cot \thetacotθ is the reciprocal of tan⁡θ\tan \thetatanθ, meaning cot⁡θ=1tan⁡θ\cot \theta = \frac{1}{\tan \theta}cotθ=tanθ1
