Moderate -0.8 This is a straightforward sketching task requiring knowledge that cot x = 1/tan x and recognition that they intersect where tan x = ±1 (at x = ±π/4, etc.). The asymptotes and basic shape follow directly from the reciprocal relationship. Minimal problem-solving required beyond recall and application of the reciprocal transformation.
6 Use the Insert provided for this question.
The graph of \(y = \tan x\) is given on the Insert.
On this graph sketch the graph of \(y = \operatorname { cotx }\).
Show clearly where your graph crosses the graph of \(y = \tan x\) and indicate the asymptotes.
