Math Problem Statement

draw y=tan(π\pix)

Solution

Here is the graph of y=tan(πx)y = \tan(\pi x), displaying the characteristic vertical asymptotes where the function is undefined. These occur at points where x=k2x = \frac{k}{2} for any integer kk, as tan(πx)\tan(\pi x) tends to infinity.

Would you like further details or have any questions about this graph?

Here are some related questions that might interest you:

  1. How does the period of tan(πx)\tan(\pi x) compare to the standard tan(x)\tan(x)?
  2. What causes the asymptotes in y=tan(πx)y = \tan(\pi x), and how do they differ from other trigonometric functions?
  3. How does modifying the coefficient of xx within tan(kx)\tan(kx) affect the graph?
  4. Can we determine the x-intercepts of y=tan(πx)y = \tan(\pi x) analytically?
  5. How would adding a vertical shift affect the graph of y=tan(πx)y = \tan(\pi x)?

Tip: When graphing trigonometric functions with asymptotes, setting the y-limits can help in visualizing the periodic nature without extreme spikes due to the asymptotes.
