This webpage checks how well you understand secant curves, i.e. graphs of the trigonometric equation y = a*sec(bx). The value of |a| is called the amplitude and b is related to the frequency (= number of times the curve repeats over an interval of [0,1]). Below is a graph for specific values of a, b, c. Your aim is to find these values and plot the graph of the same function.
