hi everyone... i'm having massive trouble with sketching reciprocal trig graphs as the horz translations and weird domains just own me :(

pls help, thanks!

Sketch the normal reciprocal graph, then translate it (might be easier to translate the asymptote and move the graph along with it afterward). After you done all that you can restrict the domains and such

I tend to solve for Doms and Rans first, so then I don't have to work out the end points and non-stationary infection either. Then I do what xZero outlined.

Wat do u mean by u dont have to work out the non-stationary inflection??
do u mean subbing in x-values from the given dom into the equation?

Well, if I find the Dom and Ran, for reciprocal sin and cos, I just half distances from endpoints to find the non-stationary inflection (that can be done mentally very easily), and with the Dom and Ran already known, I can instantly write the end-points.
