#csc(x)#

#[1]" "cot(x)*sec(x)#

Quotient Identity: #cot(x)=cos(x)/sin(x)#

#[2]" "=cos(x)/sin(x)*sec(x)#

Reciprocal Identity: #sec(x)=1/cos(x)#

#[3]" "=cos(x)/sin(x)*1/cos(x)#

#[4]" "=cancelcos(x)/(sin(x)cancelcos(x))#

#[5]" "=1/sin(x)#

Reciprocal Identity: #1/sin(x)=csc(x)#

#[6]" "=color(blue)(csc(x))#
