#104 Secant and Cosecant Graphs

What is the relationship between cosecant and sine?

• Cosecant is the same as sine.
• Cosecant is the opposite of sine.

• Cosecant is the square of sine.
• Cosecant is the reciprocal of sine.

 What is the first step the instructor recommends when graphing cosecant?

• Graph the corresponding sine function.
• Graph the tangent function first.
• Graph the corresponding cosine function.
• Identify the amplitude of the sine function.

Where are the asymptotes of the cosecant function located?

• At the max of the sine function

• At the mins of the sine function

• Where the sine function crosses the x-axis

• At multiples of π/2

How does the instructor describe the shape between asymptotes in the cosecant graph?

• The shape between asymptotes is a straight line.
• The shape resembles a semicircle pattern.

• The shape between asymptotes in the cosecant graph resembles a parabola.

• The shape is similar to an exponential curve.

What is the relationship between secant and cosine?

• Secant is the same as cosine.
• Secant is the square of cosine.
