Investigating the Reciprocals of Trigonometric Functions

 

Earlier in this course, you learned the principles of trigonometry, including how to solve trigonometric equations. The following graph is the partial graph of y = sin x.

 

1.  
   1. Sketch the graph of the reciprocal of y = sin x.
      
      
   2. Determine the domain, range, and equations of the asymptotes.
      
      
2.  
   1. Sketch the graph of the reciprocal of y = cos x.
      
      
   2. Determine the domain, range, and equations of the asymptotes.
      
      
3.  
   1. Sketch the graph of the reciprocal of y = tan x.
      
      
   2. Determine the domain, range, and equations of the asymptotes.

In the next math course in this stream you will explore these graphs. You will also learn that there are names for these specific functions!
