\(\csc{\theta}\), \(\sec{\theta}\), and \(\cot{\theta}\), respectively.

The reciprocal trigonometric ratios are derived from the basic trigonometric functions. These ratios are used to express the trigonometric functions in alternative forms.

• The reciprocal of sine (\(\sin{\theta}\)) is cosecant (\(\csc{\theta}\).
• The reciprocal of cosine (\(\cos{\theta}\)) is secant (\(\sec{\theta}\)).
• The reciprocal of tangent (\(\tan{\theta}\)) is cotangent (\(\cot{\theta}\)).
