RD Chapter 6 Graphs of Trigonometric Functions Ex 6.3 Solutions

Question - 1 : -
Sketch the graphs of the following functions:
f (x) = 2 cosec πx

Answer - 1 : -

We know that f (x) = cosec x is a periodic function with period 2π.
So, f (x) = 2 cosec (πx) is a periodic function with period 2. So, we will draw the graph of f (x) = 2 cosec (πx) in the interval [0, 2]. The values of f (x) = 2 cosec (πx) at various points in [0, 2] are listed in the following table:

Question - 2 : - f (x) = 3 sec x

Answer - 2 : -

We know that f (x) = sec x is a periodic function with period π.
So, f (x) = 3 sec (x) is a periodic function with period π. So, we will draw the graph of f (x) = 3 sec (x) in the interval [0, π]. The values of f (x) = 3 sec (x) at various points in [0, π] are listed in the following table:

Question - 3 : - f (x) = cot 2x

Answer - 3 : -

We know that f (x) = cot x is a periodic function with period π.
So, f (x) = cot (2x) is a periodic function with period π. So, we will draw the graph of f (x) = cot (2x) in the interval [0, π]. The values of f (x) = cot (2x) at various points in [0, π] are listed in the following table:

Question - 4 : - f (x) = 2 sec πx

Answer - 4 : -

We know that f (x) = sec x is a periodic function with period π.
So, f (x) = 2 sec (πx) is a periodic function with period 1. So, we will draw the graph of f (x) = 2 sec (πx) in the interval [0, 1]. The values of f (x) = 2 sec (πx) at various points in [0, 1] are listed in the following table:

Question - 5 : - f (x) = tan2 x

Answer - 5 : -

We know that f (x) = tan x is a periodic function withperiod π.

So, f (x) = tan2 (x) is a periodicfunction with period π. So, we will draw the graph of f (x) = tan2 (x)in the interval [0, π]. The values of f (x) = tan2 (x) atvarious points in [0, π] are listed in the following table:
