What Does A Secant Graph Look Like. Learn to graph it and try out our practice problems. For secant the graphs just stretch.
Free graphing calculator instantly graphs your math problems. A tangent line is a straight line that touches a function at only one point. The diagram shows the secant for an angle of rotation θ of forty-five degrees measured anti-clockwise from the positive x -axis.
The secant graph has two asymptotes that divides the period interval into three smaller sections.
You can graph a secant function f x sec x by using steps similar to those for tangent and cotangent. The cotangent has a period of π and we dont bother with the amplitude. Notice that the domain is is an integer where the asymptotes are same as tan function and the range is same as. The red curve shows the function f and the blue lines are the secants.
