3.04 Transformation of tangent

Interactive practice questions

We want to identify how the coordinates of key points on the graph of $f\left(x\right)=\tan x$f(x)=tanx change as we apply a phase shift to produce the graph of $g\left(x\right)=\tan\left(x-\frac{\pi}{3}\right)$g(x)=tan(xπ3).

a

The point $A$A on the graph of $f\left(x\right)$f(x) has the coordinates $\left(0,0\right)$(0,0).

What are the coordinates of the corresponding point on the graph of $g\left(x\right)$g(x)? Give your answer in the form $\left(\editable{},\editable{}\right)$(,).

b

The point $B$B on the graph of $f\left(x\right)$f(x) has the coordinates $\left(\frac{\pi}{4},1\right)$(π4,1).

What are the coordinates of the corresponding point on the graph of $g\left(x\right)$g(x)? Give your answer in the form $\left(\editable{},\editable{}\right)$(,).

c

The graph of $f\left(x\right)$f(x) has an asymptote passing through point $C$C with coordinates $\left(\frac{\pi}{2},0\right)$(π2,0).

What are the coordinates of the corresponding point on the graph of $g\left(x\right)$g(x)? Give your answer in the form $\left(\editable{},\editable{}\right)$(,).

d

Using the answers from the previous parts, apply a phase shift to the graph of $f\left(x\right)=\tan x$f(x)=tanx to draw the graph of $g\left(x\right)=\tan\left(x-\frac{\pi}{3}\right)$g(x)=tan(xπ3).
