The trigonometric function is
.
Recriprocal identity:
.
Hence consider the function
.
First graph the function
.
Compare the function
with

Solve the equations for the interval
.
The interval
corresponds to one cycle of the graph.
Divide the interval into four equal parts to produce the key points.

Graph :
\1. Draw a coordinate plane.
\2. Plot the points and sketch the asymptotes.
\3.Connect the points with a smooth curve.
\4.Repeat the same pattern for the next cycles.
