Sec, Cosec and Cot

Secant, cosecant and cotangent, almost always written
as sec, cosec and cot are trigonometric functions like
sin, cos and tan.

sec x = 1
cos x

cosec x = 1
sin x
cot x = 1 = cos x
tan x sin x

Note, sec x is not the same as cos-1x (sometimes

written as arccos x).

Remember, you cannot divide by zero and so these

definitions are only valid when the denominators are
not zero.

Example

If sec x = 2, cos x = ½, x = 60º
