Secant Function f(x) = sec x
The graph is discontinuous at values of x of the
form and has vertical asymptotes at these values.
There are no x-intercepts.
Its period is 2π.
Its graph has no amplitude, since there are no minimum or maximum values.
The graph is symmetric with respect to the y-axis, so the function is an even function. For all x in the domain, sec(–x) = sec(x).

Cotangent Function f(x) = cot x
The graph is discontinuous at values of x of the form x = nπ and has vertical asymptotes at these values.
There are no x-intercepts.
Its period is 2π.
Its graph has no amplitude, since there are no minimum or maximum values.
The graph is symmetric with respect to the origin, so the function is an odd function. For all x in the domain, csc(–x) = –csc(x).

Guidelines for Sketching Graphs of Cosecant and Secant Functions
Step 2 Sketch the vertical asymptotes. They will have equations of the form x = k, where k is an x-intercept of the graph of the guide function.
Step 1 Graph the corresponding reciprocal function as a guide, use a dashed curve.
y = cos bxy = a sec bx
y = a sin bxy = a csc bx

Guidelines for Sketching Graphs of Cosecant and Secant Functions
Step 3 Sketch the graph of the desired function by drawing the typical U-shaped branches between the adjacent asymptotes.
The branches will be above the graph of the guide function when the guide function values are positive and below the graph of the guide function when the guide function values are negative.

Example 1 GRAPHING y = a sec bx
Step 1 Graph the corresponding reciprocal function
The function has amplitude 2 and one period of the graph lies along the interval that satisfies the inequality
Divide the interval into four equal parts and determine the key points.

Step 2 Sketch the vertical asymptotes. These occur at x-values for which the guide function equals 0, such as x = 3, x = 3, x = , x = 3.

Addition of Ordinates
New functions can be formed by adding or subtracting other functions.
y = cos x + sin x
Graph y = cos x and y = sin x. Then, for selected values of x, plot the points (x, cos x + sin x) and join the points with a sinusoidal curve.

Example 3(a) DETERMINING AN EQUATION FOR A GRAPH
Determine an equation for the graph.
This is the graph of y = tan x reflected across the y-axis and stretched vertically by a factor of 2.
An equation for the graph isy = –2 tan x.
