Understand the Problem
The question is asking how to determine the period of the tangent graph. The period of a tangent graph can be found by understanding its properties and the general formula for the tangent function.
Answer
Period = π / |b|
The final answer is to use the formula Period = π / |b|.
Answer for screen readers
The final answer is to use the formula Period = π / |b|.
More Information
The period of the tangent function is the interval after which the function repeats itself. For the standard tangent function tan x, the period is π since the basic cycle repeats every π units.
Tips
Common mistakes include misidentifying the coefficient b or forgetting the absolute value in the formula.
