Unit 7 of 12 · Algebra readiness
Read sine, cosine and tangent graphs
Connect domains, ranges, periods, symmetry and excluded tangent inputs.
Read the three trigonometric function graphs
Choose one function at a time. Read its range and one full period, then distinguish a zero from an excluded input: tangent has gaps at its poles.
The source plots each function over ; their domains extend beyond that displayed window.
sinx
Real domain: All real x
Range:
Period:
Symmetry and continuity: Odd: ; continuous
cosx
Real domain: All real x
Range:
Period:
Symmetry and continuity: Even: ; continuous
tanx
Real domain: , integer k
Range: All real values
Period:
Symmetry and continuity: Odd: ; continuous on each interval between its poles
The original tangent range row says “for all real x”, but the same table explicitly excludes . The domain above makes that qualification consistent. The tangent graph redraw preserves separate branches and asymptotes rather than joining across the poles.
