Graph the function for two periods.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"f%28x%29=tan%28x%29-2\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"+graph%28+600%2C+600%2C+-7%2C+7%2C+-7%2C+7%2C++tan%28x%29-2%29+\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Identify the stretching factor and midline equation.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Tangent Function of the Form \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"y+=+a+%2Atan+%28b%28x+-+h%29%29+%2B+k\"
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "\"a\" - gives the amplitude, or vertical stretch or compression, for the function.
\n" ); document.write( "\"b\" - indicates the horizontal compression factor for the function.
\n" ); document.write( " the period= \"pi%2F+b\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"h+\"-gives the horizontal shift for the function.
\n" ); document.write( "\"k\" - gives the vertical shift for the function.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The graph of tangent has no maximum or minimum value. Therefore, tangent is an example of a periodic function with \"NO+\"\"midline\" or\"+amplitude\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"f%28x%29=tan%28x%29-2+\" \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "In this case,
\n" ); document.write( " amplitude: \"none\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"b=1\", the period of tangent is\"+pi%2Fb=pi%2F1=pi\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"h+=0\"-indicates there is \"no\" horizontal shift
\n" ); document.write( " \"k+=+-2\", indicating a \"vertical+\"shift of two units \"down\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
