cos(x) is even.

OpenStudy (amoodarya):
\[f(x)=\frac{1}{cosx}\\f(-x)=\frac{1}{\cos(-x)}=\frac{1}{cosx}\]
so ?

\[cotan(x)=\frac{sinx}{cosx}\\f(-x)=\frac{\sin(-x)}{\cos(-x)}=\frac{-sinx}{cosx}=-\frac{sinx}{cosx}=-f(x)\]

OpenStudy (agl202):
y = sec x = 1/cos x
substitute -x
1/ cos -x =1/cos x = sec x = y -----> even
y = sin x
substitute -x
sin -x = - sin x = -y --------> odd
y= cot x = cos x/sin x
substitute -x
cos -x / sin -x = cos x / (-sin x) = - cot x = -y ---------> odd
y = csc x = 1 / sin x
substitute -x
1/ sin -x = 1/ (-sin x)=-csc x =-y ----------> odd
