Given a Phase Shift and Change in Period | How to Graph Tangent Function

The video tutorial explains how to graph the function Y = tan(2X - π/2). It covers the importance of understanding the parent function and transformations, including period, X scale, phase shift, and vertical transformations. The instructor emphasizes the need to follow a systematic process rather than making assumptions. The tutorial provides detailed steps for calculating the period and X scale, determining the phase shift, and understanding the placement of asymptotes. The video concludes with a summary of key points and encourages students to apply the learned concepts.
