Use the graph of the function to determine whether the function is even, odd, or neither. Verify your answer algebraically. $$ g(x)=\csc x $$
Evaluate the expression without using a calculator. $$ \arctan \sqrt{3} $$
Use a graphing utility to graph the function. Describe the behavior of the function as \(x\) approaches zero. $$ y=\frac{4}{x}+\sin 2 x, \quad x>0 $$
Use a graphing utility to graph the function. Include two full periods. $$ y=0.1 \tan \left(\frac{\pi x}{4}+\frac{\pi}{4}\right) $$
Using calculus, it can be shown that the secant function can be approximated by the polynomial $$\sec x \approx 1+\frac{x^{2}}{2 !}+\frac{5 x^{4}}{4 !}$$ where \(x\) is in radians. Use a graphing utility to graph the secant function and its polynomial approximation in the same viewing window. How do the graphs compare?
