Trigonometry, Negative Angles Identity (Equations) - Csc/Sec/Cot to Identity (Degrees)

Level 1

This math topic practices understanding trigonometric identities, specifically focused on the properties of trigonometric functions of negative angles. Through multiple-choice questions, it examines how the secant, cosecant, and cotangent of negative angles relate to their respective positive angles. Each problem presents an equation and asks to identify the correct identity transformation, using examples like \(\sec(-\theta)\), \(\csc(-\theta)\), and \(\cot(-\theta)\) where \(\theta\) represents values in degrees. This topic serves as an introduction to trigonometric identities.
