Why You Need The EIGHT BLANKS METHOD To Make Trigonometry Graphs A Snap, Part 2: Tangent, Cotangent, Secant, and Cosecant

In part 1 of this blog series, I shared a foolproof method for graphing transformed sine and cosine functions using the Eight Blanks method.  I am going to show you how to extend this method to cover the other four trigonometric functions you typically encounter in Trig class: tangent, cotangent, secant, and cosecant. The base…
