Welcome back to Mathland!

As promised, in this blog post I will be talking about the tangent function and graph.

Recalling from the past post about the other six different trigonometric identities, tangent is the one where is asks for the opposite side of an angle over the adjacent side.

The tangent graph however, is a unique graph since it involves asymptotes. Both the sine and cosine graph don't have asymptotes. 

Also the tangent graph stretches out to infinite.

The formula for this graph is y = a Tan (BX+C) + D

a = the amplitude

B = the period

D = the phase shift

To calculate the period, one sets  π/b. To find the asymptote, we use -π/2b and π/2b.

Now that is all for the tangent graphs. I hope this was helpful.

Thank you and see you next time!~
