cotangent x=cosx/sinx
vertical asymptotes occur where sine=0, and that is at -2pi,-pi,,0, pi, and 2 pi.

I have to find the values of x, -2π ≤ x ≤ 2π where the graph of y=cot(x)has vertical asymptotes. Help
---
cot(x) = cos(x)/sin(x)
So the vertical asymptotes occur when sin(x) = 0
----
Ans:: x = -2pi or -pi or 0, or pi or 2pi

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`

They are x = -2pi, -pi, 0, pi, 2pi.

Exactly those where sin(x) = 0.
