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.

Graph of Cotangent. Since the cotangent function is NOT defined for integer multiples of π, there are vertical asymptotes at all multiples of π in the graph of cotangent. Also, from the unit circle (in one of the previous sections), we can see that cotangent is 0 at all odd multiples of π/2.
The tangent and cotangent graphs satisfy the following properties: range: \ ( (-\infty, \infty)\) period: \ (\pi\) both are odd functions. From the graphs of the tangent and cotangent functions, we see that the period of tangent and cotangent are both \ (\pi\).
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.
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.
The Graph of \ (y=\cot (t)\). Exploring the effects of the quotient identity \ (\cot (t)=\frac {\cos (t)} {\sin (t)}\) on the behavior of the cotangent function will give us a lot of insight into the graph \ (y=\cot (t)\text {.}\) Let's make some initial observations.
