Reciprocals• Secant and cosine are reciprocals.
• Cosecant and sine are reciprocals.
• Cotangent and tangent are reciprocals.
As for the “sec” and “csc” functions, as a way to help keep them straight I think, the "s" doesn't go with "s" and the "c" doesn't go with "c" so if we want secant, it won't be the one that starts with an "s" so it must be the reciprocal of cosine. (have to just remember that tangent & cotangent go together but this will help you with sine and cosine).

Example 1: Find the six trig functions of 330o .
Second, find the reference angle, 360o – 330o = 30o
[Solution] First draw the 330o angle.
To compute the trig functions of the 30o angle, draw the “special” triangle or recall from the table.
Determine the correct sign for the trig functions of 330o . Only the cosine and the secant are “+”.

We can see that the reference angle is , which is the same as 60 . Therefore, we will compute the trig functions of using the 60 angle of the special triangle.

Before we write the functions, we need to determine the signs for each function. Remember “All Students Take Calculus”. Since the angle, , is located in the 3rd quadrant, only the tangent and cotangent are positive. All the other functions are negative..
