For the equation y=3cot2x I need to find 2 asymptotes and period. I got period = pi. Asymptote 1 = 0 and asymptote 2 = pi/2. Can someone please tell me if I am right or not?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@sidsiddhartha I tried doing this one, can you tell me if i did it right please?

OpenStudy (sidsiddhartha):

firstly period of cotx=pi but for cot2x it will be pi/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it would just be x=pi/2 instead of 2x=pi?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i have this graph. do those lines mean that my two asymptotes could be pi/2 and -pi/2 or do they have to be completely different numbers?

OpenStudy (sidsiddhartha):

in this case there is a vertical asymptotes, which occurs at plus or minus pi over 2

OpenStudy (sidsiddhartha):

now i have a questn 4u y-tanx what can u say about it's asymptotes

OpenStudy (sidsiddhartha):

sorry y=tanx

OpenStudy (anonymous):

would those be horizontal asymptotes?

OpenStudy (sidsiddhartha):

|dw:1398534644545:dw| y tends to infinity as x tends to +-(pi/3),+-3*(pi/2)..... and tanx tends to infinity as x tends to +-pi/2,+-(3*pi/2).... so it will have infinite number of vertical asymptote
