If secx = 2,
2 is positive, the cosine and its reciprocal, \r\n" );
document.write( "the secant, is positive in QI and QIV
cscx < 0,
the sine and its reciprocal, the \r\n" );
document.write( "cosecant, is negative in QIII and QIV,\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "So angle x is in QIV\r\n" );

document.write( "Let's draw angle x.  Since we are using x for the angle, we must use another\r\n" );
