Four Basic Transformations of Cosecant and Secant

Types of Problems:

  • "a" transformations of y = csc x and y = sec x
  • "b" transformations of y = csc x and y = sec x
  • "c" transformations of y = csc x and y = sec x
  • "d" transformations of y = csc x and y = sec x
  • Distinguish what the impact of sign and size of a, b, c and d on the graphs of y = csc x and y = sec x
