Question

What is the amplitude and period of f(t)=2.5tan(t)

Answer 1

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Tan graphs are a bit different to sin and cos graphs: they don't have an amplitude.

If you look at a tan graph, it exists between assymptotes and has no maximum or minimum value. In this case, the 2.5 acts similar to a dilation factor and makes the graph skinnier or wider.

You were right about the period: it is just pi, not 2 pi like sin and cos. Again, if you look at the graph, the assymptotes occur every period, which is only pi.

Hope that helped : )
