Some stupid trig questions, sorry. Pardon me if I didn't notice the obvious answers to this xD I'm really tired! 1. Which trigonometric functions have a defined amplitude? 2. Which trigonometric functions have asymptotes? 3. Which trigonometric functions have a period of 2π?
Everything you need for these questions is here: The properties of the 6 trigonometric functions: sin (x), cos (x), tan(x), cot (x), sec (x) and csc (x) are discussed. These include the graph, domain, range, asymptotes (if any), symmetry, x and y intercepts and maximum and minimum points. http://www.analyzemath.com/trigonometry/properties.html
Alright thanks! @Directrix :)
To help you get started: 1. Which trigonometric functions have a defined amplitude? Sine and Cosine
Look at the link and see which ones have asymptotes. Look at the graphs.
Okay
Oh wait you answered that lol My bad! ^^;
If you are on #2, then.. No. They are the only two that do NOT have asymptotes.
wow this glitch deleted my responses "Sine and cosine?" referring to #1
Sorry. I will look at the page regarding #2 now
#1 is correct
#2: Everything BUT sine and cosine? Haha
Cosecant, Secant, Tangent, and Cotangent graphs have asymptotes.
Yes. :)
What about number 3?
Hmm, I'd say sine, cosine and tangent?
You are guessing. Sine, Cosine, and two more. The "two more" are the reciprocals of the sine and the cosine (if that helps.)
Oh, right ^^; Eh... cosecant, secant.
... Not sure how though.
Correct. Sine, Cosine, Cosecant, Secant.
I am confused... how? D:
Confused about what
sin + cos, yes I see, not sec and csc
3. Which trigonometric functions have a period of 2π? There are 4 answers to this question.
>>Sine, Cosine, Cosecant, Secant.
Yes, but I do not see how Cosecant and Secant are within the boundaries of that categorization o_o
>>sin + cos, yes I see, not sec and csc Don't use + for the word and. It will cause problems.
How did you see Sine and Cosine within the boundaries?
Eh....
You look for one cycle of the graph and then look across the x axis to get the period. It will not always start with 0 and end in 2 pi. But, the difference between start and stop of one cycle will be 2 pi.
Oh, okay
Study the info at the link.
Alright.
