Students will learn how to graph \(\tan\) and \(\cot.\) They'll learn why these functions have a period of \(\pi\) instead of \(2\pi,\) like sine and cosine. They'll also learn about the domain and range of \(\tan\) and \(\cot.\) Here's a video on all that. After that, students will learn how to graph \(\tan\) and \(\cot\) under transformations.
