Graphing Secant and Cosecant Functions
We will use the GC to explore the relationship of reciprocal functions.
Using 2 different colors, graph both functions on the same grid over 2 periods.

2. ( ) ( )cos , secg x x g x x= =

3. ( ) ( )sin 2 1, csc2 1f x x g x x= − − = − −
4. ( ) ( )2cos , 2sec2 2
f x x g x x
= + = +
What is the relationship of the functions?
What do you notice about their graphs?
How to graph secant and cosecant functions:
1. Graph the corresponding cosine (for secant) or sine (for cosecant) wave.
2. Identify the midline of the graph.
3. Draw asymptotes through the points that cross the midline (vertical through zeros
of the sine or cosine function).
4. Draw U’s between the asymptotes.

Graph 2 periods of the given function. *VS means vertical stretch.

Since Tangent and Cotangent are reciprocals…the VA become the x-intercepts and the x-intercepts become the
VA; the entire graph is reflected vertically.
You can also think of it using the quotient identity cos
sicot
n=
xx
x and find the vertical asymptotes and zeros from
there
Tangent has vertical asymptotes
whenever cosx=0
Tangent has zeros
(x-intercepts) whenever sinx=0

If you plot enough
points between the
asymptotes and zeros
then you will find
that the tangent

Properties of Tangent and Cotangent Functions and their graphs:
F(x)=Tan(x)
▪ Period:
▪ Odd : f(-x)=-f(x)
▪ Symmetric: origin
▪ Domain: x Odd Multiples of 2
▪ Range: ( )− ,
▪ Zeros: Multiples of
F(x)=Cot(x)
▪ Period:
▪ Odd : f(-x)=-f(x)
▪ Symmetric: origin
▪ Domain: x Multiples of
▪ Range: ( )− ,
▪ Zeros: Odd Multiples of 2
General Forms:

cot ( )

y a b x c d
y a b x c d
If a >1, the graph is vertically stretched. If 0< a <1, the graph is vertically compressed.
*For tangent and cotangent, this just speeds up the graph or slows it down.
b
=period (how long does it take for one complete graph to form)
*Notice this is different from the period of sine and cosine functions.
a < 0 reflects vertically b < 0 reflects horizontally
c = phase shift (right or left) d = vertical shift (up or down)
In order to graph tangent and cotangent functions using transformations, begin with the parent
table of values.
The new x-values are found using +1
x cb
, and
the new y-values are found using ay d+ .
Next page: Complete the table and graph 2 periods.
