\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "I am told to use a graphing calculator and enter this function: y = tan x cot x\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "I know that tan and cot individually are the opposites of each other. When I put the above equation into a graphing calculator, I just get a straight horizontal line at the y = 1 However, I am told this graph is overlooking something, but am not sure what. I thought it might be the asymptotes, but I don't know. So, what is wrong/being overlooked by the calc in the creation of the graph? \n" ); document.write( "

document.write( "Hi,
\n" );
document.write( "y = tan x cot x Or  y = tans x/tan x 
\n" );
document.write( "Yes y =1, However, Note: at x = 0 , tan x = 0\r
