The cosine  function is  even because it is symmetric with the  y  axis

See the graph here : https://www.desmos.com/calculator/1w8wnljmgc

 

 

For  an odd function  we  must have that

 

f(-x) = -f(x)

 

So....notice for instance that

 

csc(-pi/2)  =  -1   =   -csc (pi/2)

 

So....

 

csc (x) is odd
