The cosecant is the reciprocal of the sine. The cotangent is the reciprocal of the tangent. The secant is the reciprocal of the cosine. If you have sin x = 3/5, then csc x = 5/3.
The actual fuel used by the IRL is a blend of about 98 percent ethanol and 2 percent denaturant. The exact composition includes a small amount of high-octane racing fuel. The fuel for today's Indy cars has an octane rating of 113, compared with methanol's 107. This means a significant reduction in pre-ignition, or knocking and pinging. In addition, many of the people who handle the fuel, say it smells like tequila.
Nitrous and Auto Racing. In racing, nitrous is injected into an automobile's air intake to increase power. This isn't magic -- basically it is just providing more oxygen which allows more fuel to burn per stroke. The extra fuel per stroke gives you the extra power -- the nitrous just provides the oxygen needed to burn that fuel.
