How to Graph the Tangent Function?
Understanding the Tangent Function Properties The tangent function, \(f(x) = \tan(x)\), is defined as \(\frac{\sin(x)}{\cos(x)}\). Unlike sine and cosine, which are continuous everywhere, tangent has vertical asymptotes wherever cosine equals zero. Understanding these discontinuities is essential for graphing tangent correctly. The tangent function is odd, meaning \(\tan(-x) = -\tan(x)\), so its graph is symmetric about […]
