.The function f is given by:


f(x)=\sec(x)
\begin{gathered} f((\pi)/(3))=2 \\ f((\pi)/(2))=(1)/(0) \\ f(0)=1 \\ f((\pi)/(4))=√(2) \\ \end{gathered}


\text{ Since }\cos(x)=0\text{ at }x=(\pi)/(2),\text{ it follows that the function }f\text{ has a vertical asymptote at }(\pi)/(2)

Since f(0) = 1, it follows tha (0, 1) is on the line.

Hence, the correct answers are:

(0,1) is a point on the graph.

There is a vertical asymptote at x = /2.
