Unit T Big Question #3














The normal tangent graph is uphill because tangent is the same thing as sin/cos and when cosine equals 0 it is undefined which happens in 90 degrees (pi/2) and 270 degrees (3pi/2). Those are asymptotes and when we graph this and label our asymptotes and follow the SATC we know that tangent is positive because the arrow goes all the way up to the asymptote. In the other hand cotangent is cos/sin and when sine is 0 it happens at 0 degrees, pi, and 2pi which are asymptotes and when we label that our positive is at the asymptote towards zero and once drawn we see that it is downhill.
