Vertical: #uarr x = +-kpi darr, k = +-1, +-2, +-3, ...#

Explanation:

As #t to 0, s to 8#.

# s to +-oo#, as # t to kpi, k = +-1, +-2, +-3, ...#, revealing

vertical asymptotes #x=kpi, k = 0, +-1, +-2, +-3, ...#.

The first graph reveals the trends, for tending towards first pair of

asymptotes #x = +-pi#.

The second graph seems to say 'Grand New Year!'.
