We learn why graphs of tan, cot, sec and cosec have a periodic gap in them (also known as a discontinuity). We learn how to sketch the graphs.
We can graph \(y=\cot x\) by observing the graph of the tangent function because these two functions are reciprocals of one another. See Figure \(\PageIndex{8}\). Where the graph of the tangent function decreases, the graph of the cotangent function increases.
The minimum values of y = sin x are the maximum values of the negative sections of y = csc x. • The x-intercepts of y = sin x are the asymptotes for y = csc x. Note: The U shapes of the cosecant graph are tangent to its reciprocal function, sine, at sine's max and min locations.
Learning Objectives. Apply transformations to the remaining four trigonometric functions: tangent, cotangent, secant, and cosecant. Identify the equation, given a basic graph. We know the tangent function can be used to find distances, such as the height of a building, mountain, or flagpole.
7.3 The Graphs of the Tangent, Cotangent, Secant, and Co secant Functions . OBJECTIVE 1: Understanding the Graph of the Tangent Function and its Properties . The graph of the function . y x =tan consists of all points of the form ( ,tan ) xx. The graph of . y x =tan , 22. x. ππ − << , is shown below. By plotting more points, we see that ...
Take the reciprocal of each value and plot the ordered pair in the coordinate plane. This lesson shows how to graph the reciprocal trigonometric functions (y = csc x, y = sec x and y = cot x) using the y = sin x, y = cos x and y = tan x functions.
