What are the trigonometric reciprocal identities for $\csc(\theta)$, $\sec(\theta)$, and $\cot(\theta)$?

Study flashcard from the deck ACT Mastery: English, Math, Reading & Science.

Answer

$\csc(\theta) = \frac{1}{\sin(\theta)}$, $\sec(\theta) = \frac{1}{\cos(\theta)}$, $\cot(\theta) = \frac{1}{\tan(\theta)} = \frac{\cos(\theta)}{\sin(\theta)}$.

Explanation

Remember the SOH CAH TOA framework extended to their reciprocals.
