Answer 5

I just responded to your other post in which Jhonyy tagged me- but I'll post it here again in case you didn't see it.

You got it correct which is great! This is the way I remember it so I don't get confused because secant and cosecant sound similar:

SIN starts with an S
COS starts with a C

1/sin = CSC it starts with a C
1/ cos = SEC it starts with an C

So it's almost like it's flipped, you see?

Sin and Csc
Cos and Sec

it's basically a group of C and S

Does that help you?
