Question

What is the period for the tangent function? (Answer in radians.)

Answer 1

Given \(a\tan(b(x-c))+d\), the period is \(\dfrac{\pi}{b}\).

Answer 2

I understand that the tangent function exhibits periodic behavior, and the period is π.

Answer 3

However, what is π in radians?

Answer 4

pi is pi in radians... lol. Not sure what else you mean??

Answer 5

So the answer is π, correct? I'm typing in my answer and my program is not accepting the "π" symbol.

Answer 6

If the function is \(\tan x\) (meaning \(a,b=1\) and \(c,d=0\) in my general tangent function), then yes, the period is \(\pi\).

Maybe the accepted answer is "pi" or "3.14" or something to that extent.

Answer 7

Yeah, I typed in 3.14. Thanks for your time and response! =)

Answer 8

You're welcome!
