What is the Domain Range and Vertical Asymptote of Secant

The video tutorial explains how to graph the secant function by first graphing the cosine function. It highlights the importance of vertical asymptotes, which occur at points where the secant function is undefined. The domain of the secant function is all real numbers except where these asymptotes occur, while the range is from negative infinity to -1 and from 1 to infinity. The tutorial provides a step-by-step guide to understanding the domain and range of the secant function.

What is the first step in graphing the secant function?

• Graph the cotangent function

• Graph the tangent function

• Graph the sine function

• Graph the cosine function

Where do vertical asymptotes occur in the secant function?

• At the intercepts of the sine function

• At the intercepts of the cosine function

• At the maximum points of the cosine function

• At the minimum points of the sine function

Which of the following is NOT part of the domain of the secant function?

• Numbers where the tangent function is zero

• Numbers where the sine function is zero

• Numbers where the cosine function is zero

• All real numbers

How is the distance between each vertical asymptote in the secant function described?

• As a multiple of 3π

• As a multiple of π/2

• As a multiple of π

• As a multiple of 2π

What is the range of the secant function?

• From negative infinity to 0 and from 0 to infinity

• From negative infinity to -1 and from 1 to infinity

• From 0 to infinity

• From -1 to 1
