Graph the Secant Function with a Phase Shift of pi Halves

The video tutorial explains how to graph the secant function by first graphing its reciprocal, the cosine function. It covers the basic trigonometric information needed, such as amplitude, period, and shifts. The tutorial then demonstrates how to graph the cosine function, set up the graph scale, and finally relate the secant graph to the cosine graph by identifying asymptotes and maximum/minimum points.
