Answer

a) Even functions are those such that f(x) = f(-x). Odd functions are those such that f(-x) = -f(x). b) sin(x), tan(x), csc(x), cot(x) = odd, cos(x), sec(x) = even c) -0.4 d) 0.7

Work Step by Step

a) Definitions of even/odd functions b) Since cos(x) = cos(-x), its reciprocal function sec(x) must have the same property, so cos(x) and sec(x) are even. Since sin(-x) = -sin(x) and tan(-x) = -tan(x), their reciprocal functions csc(x) and cot(x) must have the same property, so sin(x), tan(x), csc(x), and cot(x) are odd. c) Since sine is odd, sin(-t) = -sin(t). Given sin(t) = 0.4, sin(-t) = -sin(t) = -0.4. d) Since cosine is even, cos(s) = cos(-s). Given cos(s) = 0.7, cos(-s) = 0.7
