For the reciprocal trigonometric function y=sec⁡xy=\sec x: (a) Write its complete domain in set–builder form. (b) State its range. (c) Determine the subset of the domain that lies in the interval [−2π,2π][-2\pi,2\pi] and list it using interval notation. (d) Sketch one full period of the graph of y=sec⁡xy=\sec x, clearly marking the vertical asymptotes and the points where the graph intersects the coordinate axes.
