Page 98 - ... b) = sec b, cosec ( — b) = — cosec b ; (53) that is, the cosine and secant of the negative of an angle are the same as those of the angle itself ; and the sine, tangent, cotangent, and cosecant of the negative of an angle are the negatives of those of the angle. These results correspond with those obtained geometrically (Art. 68). 80.
