what is the period of the following function?
\n" ); document.write( "y=2tan(3x-pie/2)
\n" ); document.write( "1. 1
\n" ); document.write( "2. pie
\n" ); document.write( "3 pie/3
\n" ); document.write( "4. pie/2
\n" ); document.write( "5. 2pie/3
\n" ); document.write( "-------------
\n" ); document.write( "tan(x) has a period of 2pi (all trig functions do)
\n" ); document.write( "Functions of 3x have a period 1/3 as long, since their value increases 3 times as fast.
\n" ); document.write( "--> 2pi/3 for the period.
\n" ); document.write( "PS It's pi, the Greek letter, not pie, the dessert.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
