  1. Section 4.6 Graphs of Other Trigonometric Functions

  2. Overview • In this section we examine the graphs of the other four trigonometric functions. • After looking at the basic, untransformed graphs we will examine transformations of tangent, cotangent, secant, and cosecant. • Again, extensive practice at drawing these graphs using graph paper is strongly recommended.

  3. Tangent and Cotangent • Three key elements of tangent and cotangent: • For which angles are tangent and cotangent equal to 0? These will be x-intercepts for your graph. • For which angles are tangent and cotangent undefined? These will be locations for vertical asymptotes. • For which angles are tangent and cotangent equal to 1 or -1? These will help to determine the behavior of the graph between the asymptotes.

  4. y = tan x

  5. y = cot x

  6. Transformations |A| = amplitude (affects the places where tangent or cotangent is equal to 1 or -1) π/B = period (distance between asymptotes). The asymptotes will keep their same relative position C/B = phase (horizontal) shift. Left if (+), right if (-)

  7. Examples—Graph the Following

  8. Secant and Cosecant • The graphs of secant and cosecant are derived from the graphs of cosine and sine, respectively: • Where sine and cosine are 0, cosecant and secant are undefined (location of vertical asymptotes). • Where sine and cosine are 1, cosecant and secant are also 1. • Where sine and cosine are -1, cosecant and secant are also -1.

  9. y = csc x

  10. y = sec x

  11. Transformations • To graph a transformation of cosecant or secant, graph the transformation of sine or cosine, respectively, then use the reciprocal strategy previously discussed: |A| = amplitude (affects the places where secant or cosecant is equal to 1 or -1) 2π/B = period (distance between asymptotes) C/B = phase (horizontal) shift, left if (+), right if (-)
