Graphs of Tangent Cotangent Today we will graph tangent and cotangent curves using our knowledge of sine and cosine curves and also rational functions. The graph of the tangent function is shown below. As with the sine and cosine the graph tells us quite a bit about the function’s properties. Where do the asymptotes occur for tangent? What is the period of tangent? What is the domain of tan x? What is the range of tan x? We can analyze why the graph of tangent behaves the way it does: It follows from the definitions of the trigonometric functions that Unlike the sine and cosine, the t
