Only the cofunctions have asymptotes. Because csc x = 1/sin x, csc x has vertical asymptotes whenever the denominator is equal to 0, or whenever sin x = 0, which are the multiples of pi (0,1,2,3,4,...). For sec x, it's 1/cos x, thus cos x = 0, x = pi/2 + pi*n, where n is a counting number (0,1,2,etc...). cot x = cos x/sin x, thus its vertical asymptotes are the same as those of csc x.

If the function is transformed, look at the number in front of x (for example, csc (2x), that number would be 2)), and divide the fundamental asymptotes (above) by that number. The vertical asymptotes of csc (2x) would be (pi/2, 2pi/2, 3pi/2, etc...).

How do you find the horizontal asymptote of a trig function?

The only trig functions i can think of with horizontal assymptotes are the inverse trig functions. and they go assymptotic for everytime the non-inverse function is equal to zero.

Find the range of trigonometric points?

The range of the circular trig functions sin and cos is is [-1,1], but even in the case of circular functions the range of the tangent function is all real numbers. This is of course true of tangent even if we do not limit it to circular functions. So your question, I assume, is asking about all trig functions. If so the range is all real numbers.
