How to Graph Tangent with a Horizontal Shift to the Right

The video tutorial explains how to graph tangent functions by identifying key components such as amplitude, period, and phase shift. It highlights the unique characteristics of tangent graphs, including their lack of amplitude and the importance of identifying X intercepts and asymptotes. The instructor demonstrates how to calculate the period and phase shift, and provides a step-by-step guide to plotting the graph using a simplified scale. The tutorial emphasizes understanding the graph's behavior and key points rather than focusing on precise curve details.

What is the amplitude of the tangent function?

• It is 1

• It is undefined

• It is 0

• It is infinite

How is the period of the tangent function calculated?

• 2π/B

• π/2B

• π/B

• 2π/2B

What is the phase shift of the tangent function if X - π/3 = 0?

• -π/3

• 0

• π/3

• π

Where does the parent graph of the tangent function have its first X intercept?

• At π

• At 0

• At π/2

• At -π/2

What is the X scale for the tangent function in this class?

• 2π/B

• B/π

• π/B/2

• π/B

What is the next important point after the X intercept in the tangent graph?

• An asymptote

• A maximum point

• Another X intercept

• A minimum point

How does the tangent graph behave as it moves from left to right?

• Remains constant

• Oscillates

• Falls to the left, rises to the right

• Rises to the left, falls to the right
