Frequently Asked Questions

What is secant?

Secant is the reciprocal of cosine, sec(angle) = 1 / cos(angle).

When is secant undefined?

Secant is undefined whenever cosine is zero (at 90 degrees, 270 degrees, and so on).

What range does secant fall in?

Since cosine ranges from -1 to 1, its reciprocal secant only ever falls between -1 and 1 at the extremes, and grows without bound as cosine approaches zero, so secant's output is everything outside the range (-1, 1).
