I gave them to you on the last post.

2. anonymous

Look at the properties of tan

3. anonymous

that didnt help lol

4. anonymous

Sure it did. Those are all the key features.

5. anonymous

can you say them again?

6. anonymous

If you can name one I will give you the list.

7. anonymous

asymptote

8. anonymous

Right!!! Here are the properties of the tan The domain is the set of all real numbers except odd multiples of $$\huge \frac{\pi}{2}$$ The range is the set of all real numbers The tangent function is an odd function, as the symmetry of the graph with respect to the origin indicates. The tangent function is periodic with period pi The x-intercepts are .....,-2pi, -pi, 0, pi, 2pi, 3pi, ..... Vertical asymptotes occur at x = odd multiples of $$\huge \frac{\pi}{2}$$

Here's the answer I put The key features of the graph of the tangent function are the starting point, asymptotes and the intercepts. These features are the main parts of the function that connect the sine and cosine.

10. anonymous

Everything on that list are the key features

You need to know all that when it comes to tan and graphing it.
