1. The cosecant function, denoted as csc(θ), is the reciprocal of the function.
2. Therefore, csc(θ) = 1 / .
3. The cosecant function is undefined when the function is equal to zero.
4. What is the period of the cosecant function?
π
2π
π/2
Depends on the amplitude
5. At what angles (in radians) is csc(θ) undefined?
π/2 + nπ
nπ
2nπ
π/4 + nπ
6. Describe the relationship between the graph of y = sin(x) and the graph of y = csc(x). How can you use the sine graph to help sketch the cosecant graph?
7. Evaluate the following exactly:
a) csc(π/2) =
b) csc(π) =
c) csc(3π/2) =
d) csc(2π) =
8. The range of the cosecant function is (-∞, -1] U [1, ∞).
True
False
9. The graph of y = csc(x) has vertical asymptotes at x = π/2 + nπ, where n is an integer.
True
False
10. If sin(θ) = 0.5, what is the value of csc(θ)?
