determine the period if function f(x)=tan(x/2)

Answer 1

The period is 2π/1/2 which equals 4π.

Answer 2

Hi Brooke,

If a function looks like f(x) = tan(bx), then the period of the function is π/b.

In this problem b = 1/2, so the period is π/(1/2) = 2π.

Please let me know if I can be more helpful, thanks!
