Graphing Secant and Cosecant 1

The document discusses graphing secant and cosecant trigonometric functions. It explains that to graph y=sec(x) and y=csc(x), you first graph the corresponding sine and cosine functions and then use reciprocal identities. It provides properties of secant and cosecant functions such as their domains, ranges, and asymptotes. Examples are given of graphing functions like y=3sec(4x) and y=3csc(4x) by relating them to sine and cosine.

Graphing y = sec(x) and
y = csc(x)
• First graph y = cos(x) or y = sin(x)
• Then use the reciprocal identities.
• The secant and cosecant graphs can
be called “clip-it and flip-it” graphs
• Y = sec(x) and y = csc(x) do not have
an amplitude.

FUNCTION
Properties of Secant
Function
f(x)=sec(x)
• Domain: all real numbers except π/2 +
k π, n is an integer.
• Range: (-∞ , -1] U [1 , +∞)
• Period = 2π
• y intercepts: y = 1
•symmetry: since sec(-x) = sec (x) then
sec (x) is an even function and its graph is
symmetric with respect to the y axis.
•intervals of increase/decrease: over
one period and from 0 to 2 , sec (x) is
increasing on (0 , π/2) U (π/2 , π) and
decreasing on (π , 3π/2) U (3π/2 , 2π).
•Vertical asymptotes: x = π/2 + k π,
where k is an integer.
EXAMPLE:
y = 3 sec (4x)
y = 3 cos (4x)
 y=acos(bx-c)+d , y = 3 sec (4x)
amplitude = |a| = |3| = 3
Period =

y = 3 cos (4x)
EXAMPLE:
y = 3 sec (4x)
 

y = 3 cos (4x)
