Open Graphing Calculator

Here is the link to our pre-Beta release of the Open Graphing Calculator. The current alpha version is 0.35 and I plan on updating it every Sunday...we are fixing issues as they  arise. So hit [ refresh ] often.




Be sure to play around with the calculus toggle buttons. Report any issues on gitHub.

The Graphs of the Six Trigonometric Functions

The objective here is to have the basic graphs of all six trigonometric functions ready to go. Here is a link to a one-page printable reference sheet.

1. One period graphed for the sine function. ( y = sin x )

2. One period graphed for the cosine function. ( y = cos x )
Notice that cosine function is a horizontal translation of sine by π/2 units. To see this click on the link below for an interactive graph.

3. One period graphed for the cosecant function. ( y = csc x = 1 / sin x )
4. One period graphed for the secant function. ( y = sec x = 1 / cos x )
Notice that the zeros of sine and cosine define vertical asymptotes for the cosecant and secant functions. To see this click on the link below for an interactive graph.

5. One period graphed for the tangent function.  ( y = tan x = sin x / cos x )
6. One period graphed for the cotangent function. ( y = cot x = cos x / sin x )
Notice that for the tangent function, the zeros of cosine determine the vertical asymptotes. And for the cotangent function, the zeros of sine determine the vertical asymptotes.
