please help me find the 2 asymptotes of y=2sec(x/4). I know that the period is 8pi but i don't know how to find the asymptotes

Question

sidsiddhartha · Answer

y=2sec(x/4)=2/cos(x/4)
equate cos(x/4)=0
x/4=(2n+1)*(pi/2)
now u can do it

anonymous · Answer

to find the asymptotes after that would i put 0 and 1 in place of n? @sidsiddhartha

sidsiddhartha · Answer

that'll do

anonymous · Answer

okay thanks, once i get to that point and have the formula its pretty easy, but i have two more problems similar to this one and I'm not sure how to get to the point of finding the formula, could you help me understand that better?

anonymous · Answer

by the way for the 2 asymptotes i got 2pi and 6pi does that seem right? :o
