Graphs of Trigonometric Functions
To each angle x, there corresponds a unique value for the trigonometric ratios and hence the trigonometric ratios such as sinx, cosx, tanx including the reciprocal ratios are the functions of the angle x.

A function can be represented in various
ways. One of the important ways by which a function can be represented is the graph. In a trigonometric function, the variable is the angle. For different
values of the angle, the values of the trigonometric ratios will be different.
To draw the graph of a trigonometric function, we take the angle x along the X-axis and the value of trigonometric ratio sinx, cosx, tanx, etc. along the Y-axis. Taking different values of the angle as the x-coordinates, and the corresponding values of the trigonometric ratio as y-coordinates, we plot the points (x, sinx), etc. on the plane with rectangular axes. Then we join these points freely to get the required graph of the trigonometric function.
