Unit T Big Question #2

How do the graphs of sine and cosine relate to each of the others? 

          In order to draw the graph for a cosecant, we must also know how to draw a sine graph because a cosecant graph is based off the asymptotes that are drawn from the sine graph. *Note that the actual graph is just in highlighter.

          Very similar to a cosecant graph, a secant graph is drawn according to that asymptotes labelled on a cosine graph.  
                                                        (www.rockhounds.com) 
          Tangent graphs' asymptotes are bases off the ratio of sin/cos, wherever cosine equals 0 makes the ratio undefined, thus creating a asymptote on the graph.
