Find the domain of 4tan(2x)=f(x)

OpenStudy (perl):

the domain of tan x is (-pi/2 +pi*n , pi/2 + pi/n)

OpenStudy (perl):

multiplying x by 2 shrinks the domain by 1/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

why are there 2 answers? or is it a coordinate?

OpenStudy (perl):

what do you mean 2 answers

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Like you said (-pi/2 +pi*n , pi/2 + pi/n), but I thought the domains are normally like (-pi/2+pi)*n or (pi/2)+(pi/n)

OpenStudy (perl):

I actually was giving an interval

OpenStudy (perl):

domain of tan x is open interval: (-pi/2 +pi*n , pi/2 + pi/n) or -pi/2 +pi*n < x < pi/2 + pi/n

OpenStudy (perl):

n can be any integer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh okay sorry we've never gone over these. Thanks!

OpenStudy (perl):

no problem :)

OpenStudy (perl):

here is picture of the graph https://www.desmos.com/calculator/hzhrlvzuvp

OpenStudy (perl):

note that the 4 in front does not affect the domain

OpenStudy (perl):

you can put a 4 in, it just makes the graph steeper
