Episode 2 — Trigonometric Functions

Properties of Tangent Function

Learners will be able to:

• Identify the period of the graph of y = tan x. • Describe the range of the graph of y = tan x. • Sketch the graph of y = tan x and identify its asymptotes. • Explain why the graph of y = tan x intersects with the x-axis at 0 degrees, every 180 degrees thereafter. • Use a calculator to verify the properties of the graph of y = tan x.
