Hi, what is the domain and range of y=sec(x)+2

OpenStudy (amistre64):

well, its not cos(x) + 2

OpenStudy (amistre64):

sec rides the humps of the cosine function .... and since its defined as 1/cos, its undefined whenever cos is equal to zero

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

right so the angles where cos(x) = 0 will give you the vertical asymptotes or domain restrictions of sec(x) range is basically everything outside of range of cos range of cos(x) is [-1,1] so range of sec(x) is (-inf,-1] U [1,inf) sec(x)+2 shifts y-values up 2, so justshift range up 2 --> (-inf,1]U[3,inf)

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

i have to add "sec rides the humps of the cosine" is just hilarious
