The tangent and cotangent functions can be graphed on the coordinate plane. The tangent function is undefined when = + n, where n is an integer. The cotangent function is undefined when = n. These values are excluded from the domain and are represented by vertical asymptotes on the graph. Because tangent and cotangent have no maximum or minimum values, amplitude is undefined. To graph tangent and cotangent, let the variable x represent the angle in standard position.

Recall that sec = . So, secant is undefined where cosine equals zero and the graph will have vertical asymptotes at those locations. Secant will also have the same period as cosine. Sine and cosecant have a similar relationship. Because secant and cosecant have no absolute maxima, no minima, amplitude is undefined.
