Trig Graphs

Shadow:

\[y = -\sec(\frac{ \pi }{ 2}x + \frac{ \pi }{ 2 })\] How does that become this: \[y = \csc \frac{ \pi x }{ 2 }\]

Madrabbit:

csc means cosec right?

Shadow:

Yes

Madrabbit:

\[-\sec(\frac{ \pi }{ 2 }x+\frac{ \pi }{ 2 })=\frac{ -1 }{ \cos(\frac{ \pi }{ 2 }x+\frac{ \pi }{ 2 }) }\] \[=\frac{ -1 }{ \cos(\frac{ \pi }{ 2 }x)\cos(\frac{ \pi }{ 2 }) -\sin(\frac{ \pi }{ 2 }x)\sin(\frac{ \pi }{ 2 })}\] \[=\frac{ -1 }{0 -\sin(\frac{ \pi }{ 2 }x) }\]

Madrabbit:

\[\frac{ 1 }{ \sin (\frac{ \pi }{ 2}x) }=\csc(\frac{ \pi }{ 2}x)\]

Madrabbit:

Did you get that??
