Question 1205877: Why does the graph of the secant function have breaks in it?
A. Because the secant function is undefined at 𝝿.
B. Because the secant function is undefined at 𝝿 and - 𝝿.
C. Because the secant function is undefined at 0.
D. Because the secant function is undefined at 90° and -90°
E. Because the secant function has to reach infinity, which doesn't really exist.
F. Because the secant function has to have a break in it to be a function.
