Graph the function for two periods.



Identify the stretching factor and midline equation.

Tangent Function of the Form

.
- gives the amplitude, or vertical stretch or compression, for the function.
- indicates the horizontal compression factor for the function.
the period=
-gives the horizontal shift for the function.
- gives the vertical shift for the function.

The graph of tangent has no maximum or minimum value. Therefore, tangent is an example of a periodic function with or.


In this case,
amplitude:
, the period of tangent is
-indicates there is horizontal shift
, indicating a shift of two units
