SECTION 4. 6 Graphs of Other Trigonometric Functions MA. PC. 4. 5 2000 Define and graph trigonometric functions (i. e. , sine, cosine, tangent, cosecant, cotangent). MA. PC. 4. 6 2000 Find domain, range, intercepts, periods, amplitudes, and asymptotes of trigonometric functions. MA. PC. 4. 7 2000 Draw and analyze graphs of translations of trigonometric functions, including period, amplitude, and phase shift.
GRAPH OF Y=TAN X
THE TANGENT CURVE Notice that the graph passes through -1 a quarter of the way through the period and 1 at three quarters of the way. Period: π Domain: All real numbers except odd multiples of π/2 Range: All real numbers Vertical asymptotes: at odd multiples of π/2
GRAPHING Y =A TAN(BX + C) + D Vertical Shift = D: Moves the midline Amplitude = |A|: Tangent crosses the amplitude (max and min lines) at ¼ and 3/4 of the way between the asymptotes Period = /B: An asymptote occurs at /2 B Phase Shift = -C/B: Shifts graph right or left

THE COTANGENT CURVE Notice the graph passes through 1 a quarter of the way through the period and -1 at three quarters of the way. Period: π Domain: All real #s except integral multiples of π Range: All real numbers Vertical asymptotes: at integral multiples of π
THE COSECANT CURVE Notice the relationship to sin x Period: 2π Domain: All real #s except integral multiples of π Range: (-∞, -1]U[1, ∞] Vertical asymptotes: at integral multiples of π
THE SECANT CURVE Notice the relationship to cos x Period: 2π Domain: All real numbers except odd multiples of π/ 2 Range: (-∞, -1]U[1, ∞] Vertical asymptotes: at odd multiples of - π/2
