What are the period and phase shift for f(x) = tan(2x + 𝜋)? Period: pi over two; phase shift: x = negative pi over two Period: negative pi over two; phase shift: x = pi over two Period: 𝜋; phase shift: x = negative pi over two Period: 𝜋; phase shift: x = pi over two

I thinnk its a but im confused with the box, i know phase shift is found by c/b so the box/2 and I know the period is found by pi/b.. pls help

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you know the easiest way to find the phase shift without memorizing anything that will confuse you?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

um no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you know that \(\tan(0)=0\) right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

set \(2x+\pi=0\) and solve for \(x\) that will tell you how far it is shifted left or right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how do you know the box= pi?? thats the part im confused on

OpenStudy (anonymous):

F(x)=tan(2x+value), tan and cotangent period is pi, rest trig functions period is 2pi, so use 2x/b to solve for period, (2x+value) use 2x/pi, pi is from tan period, so period is 2 and (2x+value) means horizontal shift to the left if (2x-value) horizontal shift right (2x +value) (value)(box) + means vertical shift up (2x- value) (value)(box) - value vertical shift down

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im confused

OpenStudy (anonymous):

on everything lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

there is no answer that says the period is 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

tan and cot has a period at pi sin,cos,csc,sec, has a period at 2pi tan(2x+value) so formula 2(x)/b-2pi functions, formula pi/b since in this equation (2x+value) = use pi/b pi/2is period is answer, b=2x so pi/2. sorry for earlier use the parentheses variables (2x+value) to shift horizontal, value is any number, (2x+value) horizontal shift left + (2x-value) left shift- value will tell vertical shift +,- (x+value)- this parentheses will always look like this for horizontal shift value will tell you vertical shift always

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so its A?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

si

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry i did not see the choices before, but I gave you all the information you need for future problems

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks

np,make sense?
