The domain is all the values of q that
can be plugged into the function.
sin q , q can be any angle
cos q , q can be any angle

Range
The range is all possible values to get
out of the function.
csc q ³ 1 and csc q £ -1
-1 £ sin q £ 1
-1 £ cos q £ 1 sec q ³ 1 and sec q £ -1
-¥ < tan q < ¥

Period
The period of a function is the number,
T, such that f (q + T ) = f (q ) . So, if w
is a fixed number and q is any angle we
have the following periods.
