Aim: How do we graph the tangent function? Do Now: Describe any phase and/or vertical shifts. y = 4 cos (x + 1) – 2
Model Problem Describe any phase and/or vertical shifts. y = .5 sin 3(x - ) – /3 Write an equation for each transformation. y = sin x; /2 units to right and 3.5 units up
Regents Prep Which function is a translation of y = sin that is /3 units up and /2 units to the left? What is the period of the function

-π π vertical asymptotes Asymptotes of the Tangent Curve y = tan 2 tangent function is discontinuous x = π/2 1 -1 y = tan (π/2) = ? UND x = -π/2 y = tan (-π/2) = ? UND -2 y = tan (-3π/2) = ? UND
The a factor: Because y, in the tangent function extends to positive and negative infinity, there is no amplitude. The asymptotes remain the same (if b = 1). Only the shape of the curve changes.As a gets bigger, the curve becomes straighter. The bfactor: The period of the tangent curve y = tan is π. The period of the tangent curve y = tan b is The a and b of the Tangent Curve y = atan b

tan 0 = 0 when y = ±1 Model Problem Sketch the graph y = tan 1/2 from 0 to π On same axes, graph y = tan (-1/2) asymptote = -π asymptote = π 1 -π π -1
Model Problem An architect is designing the front façade of a building to include a triangle, as shown in the figure. The base of the triangle is 200 ft. wide. The function y = 100 tan models the height of the triangle, where is the angle indicated. Graph the function in degree modes. What is the height of the triangle when = 16o? What is the height when = 22o? 200’
