Note: Some values in the table are given in forms that include a radical in the denominator — this is done both to simplify recognition of reciprocal pairs and because the form given in the table is simpler in some sense.

Notice that for certain values of X, the tangent, secant, cosecant, and cotangent functions are undefined. This is because these functions are defined as sin(x)cos(x), 1cos(x), 1sin(x), and cos(x)sin(x), respectively. Since an expression is undefined if it is divided by zero, the functions are therefore undefined at angle measures where the denominator (the sine or cosine of X, depending on the trigonometric function) is equal to zero. Take, for example, the tangent function. If the tangent function is analyzed at 90 degrees (π2 radians), the function is then equivalent to sin(π/2)cos(π/2), or 10, which is an undefined value.
