Question
1. True or False? The graph of sine can be used to construct the graph of the secant function.

**Explanation:** The secant function is related to the cosine function, not the sine. Secant is the reciprocal of cosine, so the graph of secant is constructed by taking the points where the cosine graph does not touch the x-axis and finding the reciprocal values at those points. Hence, the sine graph is not directly used in constructing the secant function graph.
