Intervalos de constancia
`cot x > 0, x in (pin, pi/2 + pin), n in Z`
`cot x < 0, x in (-pi/2 + pin, pin), n in Z`

Puntos de inflexión
`y=0, x = pi/2 + pin, n in Z`
`cot alpha = cos alpha / sin alpha`
`cot alpha = 1/(tan alpha)`
`cot alpha = - tan(alpha + pi/2) = - tan(alpha - pi/2)`
`cot alpha = sqrt(1/sin^2alpha - 1)`
`-cot alpha = cot(-alpha)`
`(cot alpha)^' =-1/sin^2 alpha`
`int cot(alpha)dalpha = -ln |sin alpha| + C`
