Question 5 • Algebra 2

Which function is undefined when theta is equal to pi over 2 radians?

Answer
A
cotangent theta
B
cosine theta
C
tangent theta
D
cosecant theta

Explanation

At θ = π/2, cosine is 0 and sine is 1. Tangent is defined as sin θ ÷ cos θ, so its denominator is 0 and tangent is undefined. Cosecant, cosine, and cotangent are all defined at this angle.
