h side of the asymptotes to create a rough sketch of the graph. Finally, label the x and y-intercepts.

Step 1
The two standard forms are (x - h)^2/a^2 - (y - k)^2/b^2 = 1 (transverse axis horizontal) or (y - k)^2/a^2 - (x - h)^2/b^2 = 1 (transverse axis vertical). If the equation is not already in one of these forms, complete the square in x and y and divide through Show more…

Graph the Function: y = 4cot(2x) To draw the graph, plot two consecutive asymptotes. Between those asymptotes, first plot the x-intercept. Then plot two additional points, one on each side of the first point. Then click on the graph.
