  1. Graphs of Tangent and Cotangent Functions

  2. Plan for the Day • Review Homework • Graphing Tangent and Cotangent • Homework

  3. Key Steps in Graphing Sine and Cosine Identify the key points of your basic graph • Find the new period (2π/b) • Find the new beginning (bx - c = 0) • Find the new end (bx - c = 2π) • Find the new interval (new period / 4) to divide the new reference period into 4 equal parts to create new x values for the key points • Adjust the y values of the key points by applying the amplitude (a) and the vertical shift (d) • Graph key points and connect the dots

  4. Key Steps in Graphing Secant and Cosecant • Identify the key points of your reciprocal graph (sine/cosine), note the original zeros, maximums and minimums • Find the new period (2π/b) • Find the new beginning (bx - c = 0) • Find the new end (bx - c = 2π) • Find the new interval (new period / 4) to divide the new reference period into 4 equal parts to create new x values for the key points • Adjust the y values of the key points by applying the amplitude (a) and the vertical shift (d) • Using the original zeros, draw asymptotes, maximums become minimums, minimums become maximums… • Graph key points and connect the dots based upon known shape

  5. Tangent and Cotangent Look at: • Shape • Key points • Key features • Transformations

  6. Graph Set window Domain: -2π to 2π x-intervals: π/2 (leave y range) Graph y = tan x

  7. To graph y = tan x, use the identity . y Properties of y = tan x 1. domain : all real x x 4. vertical asymptotes: period: Graph of the Tangent Function At values of x for which cos x = 0, the tangent function is undefined and its graph has vertical asymptotes. 2. range: (–, +) 3. period: 

  8. Graph y = tan x and y = 4tan x in the same window What do you notice? y = tan x and y = tan 2x What do you notice? y = tan x and y = -tan x What do you notice?

  9. Graph Set window Domain: 0 to 2π x-intervals: π/2 (leave y range) Graph y = cot x

  10. y To graph y = cot x, use the identity . Properties of y = cot x x 1. domain : all real x 4. vertical asymptotes: vertical asymptotes Graph of the Cotangent Function Cotangent Function At values of x for which sin x = 0, the cotangent function is undefined and its graph has vertical asymptotes. 2. range: (–, +) 3. period: 

  11. Graph Cotangent y = cot x and y = 4cot x in the same window What do you notice? y = cot x and y = cot 2x What do you notice? y = cot x and y = -cot x What do you notice? y= cot x and y = -tan x

  12. Key Steps in Graphing Tangent and Cotangent Identify the key points of your basic graph • Find the new period (π/b) • Find the new beginning (bx - c = 0) • Find the new end (bx - c =π) • Find the new interval (new period / 2) to divide the new reference period into 2 equal parts to create new x values for the key points • Adjust the y values of the key points by applying the amplitude (a) and the vertical shift (d) • Graph key points and connect the dots
