Find the Period and Vertical Horizontal Stretch of the CSCX

The video tutorial explains how to simplify fractions by rewriting expressions, specifically focusing on converting 1/2 * X to X / 2. It then discusses the concepts of vertical and horizontal stretches, clarifying the difference between stretch and compression. The tutorial further explores the period of the cosecant function, explaining how the period changes with transformations, particularly focusing on horizontal stretching.

How can the expression 1/2 * X be rewritten?

• X * 2

• X / 2

• 2 / X

• X + 2

What is the vertical stretch factor mentioned in the video?

• 4

• 2

• 3

• 1/2

What is the correct term for the change described as not a compression?

• Vertical stretch

• Horizontal compression

• Vertical compression

• Horizontal stretch

What is the formula for the period of the cosecant function?

• b / 2π

• π / b

• 2π / b

• 4π / b

How does the period of the cosecant function change due to the horizontal stretch?

• It remains the same

• It changes from 2π to π

• It changes from 2π to 4π

• It changes from 4π to 2π
