A graph of tan ( x ) {\displaystyle \tan(x)} . tan ( x ) {\displaystyle \tan(x)} is defined as sin ( x ) cos ( x ) {\displaystyle {\frac {\sin(x)}{\cos(x)}}} .
A graph of csc ( x ) {\displaystyle \csc(x)} . csc ( x ) {\displaystyle \csc(x)} is defined as 1 sin ( x ) {\displaystyle {\frac {1}{\sin(x)}}} .
A graph of sec ( x ) {\displaystyle \sec(x)} . sec ( x ) {\displaystyle \sec(x)} is defined as 1 cos ( x ) {\displaystyle {\frac {1}{\cos(x)}}} .
A graph of cot ( x ) {\displaystyle \cot(x)} . cot ( x ) {\displaystyle \cot(x)} is defined as 1 tan ( x ) {\displaystyle {\frac {1}{\tan(x)}}} or cos ( x ) sin ( x ) {\displaystyle {\frac {\cos(x)}{\sin(x)}}} .
Note that tan ( x ) {\displaystyle \tan(x)} , sec ( x ) {\displaystyle \sec(x)} , and csc ( x ) {\displaystyle \csc(x)} are unbounded, positive or negative. While tan ( x ) {\displaystyle \tan(x)} (and cot ( x ) {\displaystyle \cot(x)} ) can take any value, sec ( x ) {\displaystyle \sec(x)} and csc ( x ) {\displaystyle \csc(x)} can never lie between -1 and 1.
