You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You can think of this as the sum of 2 equations:
+y+=+4+
+y+=+5%2Atan%28+2x+-+pi+%29+
--------------------
You need a table with 3 entries:
x, 2x - pi, 5%2Atan%28+2x+-+pi+%29
----------------------------------
0, -pi, 0
pi/4, -pi/2, -infinity
pi/2, 0, 0
(3*pi)/4, pi/2, +infinity
pi, pi, 0
(5*pi)/4, -infinity
(3*pi)/2, 2*pi, 0
The values between zero and +- infinity all
get multiplied bt +5+, and then get +4+ added to them
Here's the plot along with +y+=+tan%28x%29+
