Transcribed Image Text:**Find the period:**
\( y = \cot\left(\frac{\pi x}{2}\right) \)
**Graph the function.**
**Explanation of Graphs:**
The image contains four graphs of the function \( y = \cot\left(\frac{\pi x}{2}\right) \). Each graph displays the function over different intervals, demonstrating different potential interpretations of the function's transformation.
1. **First Graph:**
- The graph shows multiple periods of the cotangent function.
- Vertical asymptotes are present at \( x = -3, -1, 1, 3 \).
- The graph forms descending curves between each pair of asymptotes.
2. **Second Graph:**
- This graph also shows a segment of the cotangent graph.
- The vertical asymptotes occur at \( x = -2, 0, 2, 4 \).
- The shape is similar to the first graph but with different placements of asymptotes.
3. **Third Graph:**
- Displays another potential period of the function.
- Vertical asymptotes are located at \( x = -3, -1, 1, 3 \).
- The pattern is consistent with the first graph.
4. **Fourth Graph:**
- Similar to the second graph, but vertical asymptotes are at \( x = -2, 0, 2, 4 \).
- The function descends between each asymptote.
Each graph is set on an \( x \)-\( y \) plane with a consistent range from -6 to 6 on the y-axis and varied intervals on the x-axis to demonstrate different transformations of the function’s period.
