Chapter 4.5Graphs of Tangent, Cotangent, Secant, and Cosecant Learning Target:I can generate the graphs for tangent, cotangent, secant, and cosecant.
Tangent Function • f(x) = tan (x) • D: all real numbers except odd multiples of П/2 • R: all real numbers • Continuous • Increasing on each interval in the domain • Symmetric with respect to the origin (odd) • Not Bounded • No extrema • No horizontal asymptotes • Vertical asymptotes: x = k•(П/2) for all odd integers k • End behavior DNE (hence no horizontal asymptotes)
Take a look at the graph of tangent. Why do the vertical asymptotes occur where they do?
Take a look at the graph of cotangent. Why do the vertical asymptotes occur where they do?
Take a look at the graph of Secant. Why do the vertical asymptotes occur where they do?
Take a look at the graph of Cosecant. Why do the vertical asymptotes occur where they do?
