Learn How to Graph the Tangent Function by Changing the Period

The video tutorial explains how to graph the function F(x) = tangent of X/2. It begins by reviewing the parent graph of the tangent function, highlighting its asymptotes and periodic nature. The tutorial then discusses transformations, focusing on phase shifts and period changes. The period for tangent functions is calculated as π/b, where b is the coefficient of X. For the function tangent of X/2, the period is determined to be 2π. The tutorial concludes by demonstrating how to graph the function with these transformations, emphasizing that there is no phase shift or vertical movement.
