Use y=2tan(3x) to answer the questions below.
Basic equation for tan function: y=A(Bx-C), A=coefficient, period=π/B, Phase shift=C/B
1. what is the period of the function?
Period:π/B=π/3
2. what is the phase shift of the function?
Phase shift: none
3. name a zero (x-intercept) of this function?
x-intercept: 1.0472
4. name equation of the any one vertical asymptote in this graph.
vertical asymptote: x=0.5236
5. name the coordinate of the point on the graph that is halfway between the first zero and the first asymptote.
coordinate:(0.2618,2)
6. show a reasonably accurate graph of this function labeling all the key points (intercepts, asymptotes). Show 2 complete cycles.
I don't have the means for drawing the graph, but here are the coordinates for 2 cycles.
(0,0),(0.2618,2),(0.5236,u.d),(0.7854,-2),(1.0472,0),(1.3090,2),(1.5708,u.d),(1.8326,-2),(2.0944,0)
