\"\"

\

The trigonometric function is \"\".

\

Compare the function \"\"  with \"\".

\

\"\" and Period = \"\".

\

Two consecutive vertical asymptotes can be found by solving the equations \"\" and \"\".

\

\"\" and \"\".

\

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

\

The vertical asymptotes are \"\" and \"\" in the interval \"\".

\

The vertical asymptotes are \"\" and \"\" in the interval \"\", where \"\" is an odd integer.

\

\"\"

\

The interval \"\" corresponds to one cycle of the graph.

\

Divide the interval \"\" into four equal parts to produce the key points.

\

One fourth of part \"\".

Construct a table between the two asymptotes and plot a few points, including the intercept, as obtained in the table.

Graph :

\

(1) First plot the asymptotes.

\

     The midpoint between two consecutive vertical asymptotes is an \"\" - intercept of the graph.

\

(2) The period of the function \"\" is the distance between two consecutive vertical asymptotes.

\

(3) Plot the points obtained in the table for one cycle.

\

      Finally, sketch one or two additional cycles to the left and right.
