Reciprocals – Graph of Cosecant reciprocal of 0 - undefined therefore these are the only points of equality f(x) = csc x

Reciprocals – Graph of Secant reciprocal of 0 undefined therefore these are the only points of equality f(x) = sec x

Reciprocals – Graph of Cotangent the only points of equality f(x) = cot x -

Model Problems Which expression represents the exact value of csc 60o? Which expression gives the correct values of csc 60o? Which is NOT an element of the domain of y = cot x?

Model Problems A handler of a parade balloon holds a line of length y. The length is modeled by the function y = d sec , where d is the distance from the handler of the balloon to the point on the ground just below the balloon, and  is the angle formed by the line and the ground. Graph the function with d = 6 and find the length of the line needed to form an angle of 60o.

|a| = amplitude (vertical stretch or shrink) |b| = frequency h = phase shift, or horizontal shift k = vertical shift Model Problem Graph the function a = 2 b = 3 k = -2

Model Problem Graph the function a = 2 b = 3 k = -2
