    Tangent Properties Symmetry, domain, asymptotes, zeroes

    ok i still don't think I get symmetry but for the range I've got {x: x cannot = -90,90,270,...,XER} this is from tan(theta) not from the equation I wrote in the first post. If i look at that equation on my graphing calculator i get {x: x cannot= 0.47, 1.53, -3.76, -4.80.. XER} the...

    CHECK PLEASE Tan BEHAviour IN TRANSFORMATION

    HOw does y-3=-\tan (-2x+\pi) differ from y=tan(x) y=-\tan [-2 (x+ \frac {\pi} {2} )] +3 rearranged It differs because it has a Horizontal compression by a factor of 1/2 it is reflected in the x and y-axis there is a horizontal translation \frac {\pi} {2} units to the left...

    New equation? y=3tan(2x) shifted down 5 and 60 left?

    Im not sure I think it is either y=3tan (2(x-60))-5 OR y=3tan(2x-60)-5 which will become y=3 tan(2 (x-30))-5 but I think this one is wrong if the first one is right then should the 60 have a negative or plus sign before it? HELP! QUICK! :cry: :cry:

    I don't think I am confused about radians and degrees some of my trig functions have radians in them so to make things simpler I convert to degrees but in this question i haven't done any converting that 90 is in degrees. :smile: sorry I added the x in the original function.
