How can you find out the relationships of triganometry functions?
Question: What are trigonometry functions and how can we identify them?
Answer:
Trigonometric functions are functions that help relate sides of a triangle to its angles expressed through adjacent, hypotenuse and opposite, which is shown on the triangle below.

The trigonometric functions are:
The reciprocal functions of sine, cosine and Tangent is:
As you can see the reciprocals of sine, cosine and tangent is the opposite of their appointed trig function, or their trig function turned over.
Lets try a Question:
What is the co function(Reciprocal function)of the trig function below:
Tangent(Tan): 4/5
The answer is Cot: 5/4
the reason is because the trig function of tangent is opposite/ adjacent, since we are trying to find the reciprocal function we need to flip Tan over creating 5/4 or adjacent over hypothesis.
Try it Yourself:
What is the co functions of the trig functions below:
Cotangent: 8/10
Co secant: 5/ 8
Secant: 3/6
