y = (1/2)tan x (1 Viewer)

whats the amplitude of this function?
It cannot be half as aymptotes occur and shizzle....

WTF plz

There is no amplitude right? >.> Yea because it rocks up to the sky. Right? Tan never have any amps right?


Yes. I drew the graph out. It rocks up to the sky and below.

y=tanx has no amplitude, thus y= atanx has no amplitude.

...yes I know this, But the half infront of the tan x is confusing me on how it changes the look of the function.

The function goes towards infinity, half of infinity is still infinity. So the 1/2 makes no difference on the amplitude, it just makes the graph look a little more fatter.

:O how often do they put a tan graph in ??? ive only every used cos and and sin... but were still expected to know how to use tan arnt we?...

do it on your calculator, then sketch it, not hard
