1. Define the tangent function in terms of sine and cosine. Explain why it has asymptotes.

2. What is the value of tan(π/4)?

√3

Undefined

3. The period of the tangent function is . The vertical asymptotes of y = tan(x) occur at x = + nπ, where n is an integer.

4. Sketch one full period of the graph of y = tan(x). Label the asymptotes and x-intercepts.

5. True or False: tan(x + π) = tan(x) for all real numbers x where tan(x) is defined.

True

False

6. Find all values of x in the interval [0, 2π) for which tan(x) = -1.
