Answer

$(a)$ $\csc t = \frac{1}{\sin t}$ $\sec t = \frac{1}{\cos t}$ $\cot t = \frac{1}{\tan t}$ $(b)$ $sin^2t+cos^2t=1$ $tan^2t+1=sec^2t$ $1+cot^2t=csc^2t$

Work Step by Step

These identities are true for any value of the variable $t$. $(a)$ Reciprocal identities are : $\csc t = \frac{1}{\sin t}$ $\sec t = \frac{1}{\cos t}$ $\cot t = \frac{1}{\tan t}$ $(b)$ Pythagorean identities are : $sin^2t+cos^2t=1$ $tan^2t+1=sec^2t$ $1+cot^2t=csc^2t$
