How to draw a tangent graph from an equation!...
Begin looking at A, B, and C In the equation Y= Atan(Bx+c)
In the problem Y=-2/3tan3(x-pie/6)
The negative sign means that the tangent graph reflects or “flips” about the x-axis. The graph will look like this…
Use B to calculate the period. Period is the distance between vertical asymptotes.Period= pie/B=pie/3
C=pie/6 means that the graph has shifted pie/6 spaces to the right. This is also an x intercept.
The period is pie/3; half the period is pie/6. Therefore, the distance between the x-intercept and the asymptotes on either side is pie/6
