You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Sketch one period of the graph of y=tan((1/4)x)
----
1st: Draw a coordinate system.
2nd: Draw a normal tangent curve.
3rd: The period for your curve is pi/(1/4) = 4pi
----
The curve corsses the x-axis at x = 0 and has vertical asymptotes
at x = +/- 2pi
Mark the x-axis so the vertical asymptotes are correct.
