      Graphing Trig Functions

      The graphs of trigonometric functions are usually easily recognizable — after you become familiar with the basic graph for each function and the possibilities for transformations of the basic graphs.

      Trig functions are periodic. That is, they repeat the same function values over and over, so their graphs repeat the same curve over and over. The trick is to recognize how often this curve repeats and where one of the basic graphs starts for a particular function.

      An interesting feature of four of the trig functions is that they have asymptotes — those not-really-there lines used as guides to the shape of a curve. The sine and cosine functions don’t have asymptotes, because their domains are all real numbers. The other four functions have vertical asymptotes to mark where their domains have gaps.

The Problems You’ll Work On

      In this chapter, you’ll work with the graphs of trigonometric functions in the following ways:

       Marking any intercepts on the x-axis to help graph the curves

       Locating and drawing in vertical asymptotes for the tangent, cotangent, secant, and cosecant functions

       Computing the change in the period of a function based on some transformation

       Adjusting the amplitude of the sine or cosine when the basic curve has a multiplier

       Making
