Homework Statement
Math is not math when it asks me to describe relationships between functions. I hate wordplay.
Please see the attached PDF. On this page it says "What relationship between the cosine and secant do the graph and these values suggest?"
Homework Equations
Well, the paper speaks of using MAPLE, but the teacher instructed us just to use our calculators. So that throws some things off.
The Attempt at a Solution
I'm not sure what it's asking here. Do you think they are just speaking of the fact that they are reciprocals of each other, or perhaps that the secant approaches infinity as the cosine approaches zero?
Any help would be appreciated. Following this question is the same thing for the sin/csc, and the tan/cot. I consider myself a methodical person in trying to figure things out and making sure things turn out well, but questions like this always throw me off.
