Answer

$\text{True}$

Work Step by Step

Definition of Even and odd functions If $f(-\theta)=f(\theta)$ then $f$ is an even function If $f(-\theta)=-f(\theta)$ then $f$ is an odd function. From the discussions in the book, it has been established that: $\cos (-\theta)=\cos \theta \quad(\because \text { Even })$ $\sec (-\theta)=\sec \theta \quad(\because \text { even })$ $\sin (-\theta)=-\sin \theta \quad(\because \text { odd })$ $\csc (-\theta)=-\csc \theta \quad(\because odd)$ $\tan (-\theta)=-\tan \theta \quad(\because odd)$ $\cot (-\theta)=-\cot \theta\quad (\because odd)$ Hence cosine and sec are even functions while the rest of the trigonometric functions are odd. Thus, the given statement is true.
