Step 1:

\

The function \"\"

\"\"

\

Period\"\".

\

\"\"

\

\"\"

\

\"image\" and \"\"

\

\"image\" and \"\"

\

The two consecutive vertical asymptotes occur at \"image\" and \"\".

\

Step 2:

\

The interval \"image\" corresponds to two cycle of the graph. Dividing this interval into four equal parts produces the key points.

\

one fourth of part \"\"

\

The \"\"- coordinates of the five key points are

\

\"image\", \"\"

\

\"\"

\

\"\"

\

\"\"

\

Step 3:

\

Between these two asymptotes, plot a few points as shown in the table.

Step 4:

\

Graph:

\

(1) First plot the asymptotes.

\

(2) The period of the function \"\" is the distance between two consecutive vertical asymptotes. The amplitude of a cotangent function is not defined.

\

(3) plot key points between the two asymptotes and plot another point to sketch two cycles.

\

\"\"

\

Solution :

\

Domain is \"\" where \"\" is an integer.

\

Range is \"\".
