The process of plotting trigonometric functions including sine, cosine, tangent, and their reciprocals. Each function has characteristic shapes, periods, and key features like asymptotes or wave patterns.

Examples

Real-world.

  • 1 Sine and cosine produce smooth waves with period 2π
  • 2 Tangent has vertical asymptotes and repeats every π
  • 3 Modeling seasonal temperature changes with a cosine function
