Answer

The reciprocal of sec of $t$ is equal to $\cos t$.

Work Step by Step

The reciprocal identities of the trigonometric functions state that: Reciprocal of sec of $t$ $\left( \sec t \right)$ is equal to cosine of $t$ $\left( \cos t \right)$. Here, $t$ belongs to real numbers. Hence, the reciprocal of sec of $t$ is equal to $\cos t$.
