The tangent of x is defined to be its sine divided by its cosine: … The secant of x is 1 divided by the cosine of x: sec x = 1 cos x , and the cosecant of x is defined to be 1 divided by the sine of x: csc x = 1 sin x .

Do sin and csc cancel?

The reciprocal of the sine function is the cosecant function. The following is a valid identity for all x in the domain of the cosecant function. The arcsine function is the inverse function for the sine function on the interval . So they “cancel” each other under composition of functions, as follows.

Are sin and csc reciprocal?

The reciprocal sine function is cosecant, csc(theta)=1/sin(theta).

Cosecant (csc) – Trigonometry function

In a right triangle, the cosecant of an angle is the length of the hypotenuse divided by the length of the opposite side. In a formula, it is abbreviated to just ‘csc’.
