cos and sin are periodic at 2pi
How about tan?

Is Tangent Function Periodic Like Sine and Cosine?
In summary, tan is a periodic function, like sin and cos. Its period is π radians or 180 degrees, and its values repeat after every period. Tan has a specific domain and range, with the domain being all real numbers except for odd multiples of π/2, and the range being all real numbers. Tan can also be graphed as a periodic function with a repeating pattern of peaks and valleys.
