For any $y = \sec (x)$ , vertical asymptotes occur at $x = \frac{π}{2} + n π$ , where $n$ is an integer. Use the basic period for $y = s e c (x)$ , $(- \frac{π}{2}, \frac{3 π}{2})$ , to find the vertical asymptotes for $y = 3 \sec (\frac{x}{7})$ . Set the inside of the secant function, $b x + c$ , for $y = a \sec (b x + c) + d$ equal to $- \frac{π}{2}$ to find where the vertical asymptote occurs for $y = 3 \sec (\frac{x}{7})$ .

Use the form $a \sec (b x - c) + d$ to find the variables used to find the amplitude, period, phase shift, and vertical shift.

$a = 3$

$b = \frac{1}{7}$

$c = 0$

$d = 0$

Since the graph of the function $s e c$ does not have a maximum or minimum value, there can be no value for the amplitude.

Amplitude: None
