Question

Graph the trigonometric function. y = -1/2 tan(x + ?/2) Start by drawing two consecutive asymptotes. Between those asymptotes, plot three points: a point where the midpoint is, a point to its right. Finally, click on the graph-a-function button.

Step 1

First, we need to find the asymptotes. The tangent function has asymptotes at odd multiples of $\frac{\pi}{2}$, so we have: Asymptote 1: $x_1 + \pi = -\frac{\pi}{2} \Rightarrow x_1 = -\frac{3\pi}{2}$ Asymptote 2: $x_2 + \pi = \frac{\pi}{2} \Rightarrow x_2 = Show more…
