Graphing Tangent with a Period Change

The video tutorial covers the process of graphing tangent functions, starting with an overview of key concepts such as amplitude and period. It explains why amplitude is not applicable to tangent graphs and details the calculation of period and X scale. The tutorial also discusses determining start and end points, which are asymptotes for tangent graphs. Finally, it provides a step-by-step guide to graphing tangent functions, emphasizing the importance of understanding the graph's shape and using calculators for accuracy.

Why is amplitude not a concern for tangent graphs?

• Because tangent graphs have a constant slope

• Because tangent graphs have a fixed maximum and minimum

• Because tangent graphs extend infinitely in both directions

• Because tangent graphs are always horizontal

How is the period of a tangent graph calculated?

• B divided by π

• π divided by B

• B divided by 2π

• 2π divided by B

What is the X scale for a tangent graph if the period is 4?

• 4

• 1

• 2

• 3

What are the start and end points of a tangent graph?

• 0 and 2π

• -π and π

• 0 and π

• -π/2 and π/2

What do the start and end points of a tangent graph represent?

• Maximum points

• Minimum points

• Asymptotes

• Intercepts

How does the tangent graph behave as it moves from left to right?

• It falls to the left and rises to the right

• It rises to the left and falls to the right

• It oscillates up and down

• It remains constant

What is the significance of the X scale in a tangent graph?

• It determines the number of intercepts

• It determines the distance between asymptotes

• It determines the width of the graph

• It determines the height of the graph
