1. Graphing Tangent Section 4.6

2. Objectives Students will be able to… Use the unit circle to generate the parent graph of tangent Recognize the tangent parent graphs by their shape Graph the tangent function using transformations Determine all characteristics given the equation (amplitude, phase shift, vertical shift) Determine starting point and ending point of graph (5 points labeled on x-axis) Write the equation given the characteristics of the trig function or the graph

4. Tangent (cont.) Asymptotes:

5. Identify amplitude, period and changes Identify Asymptotes and x – values Plot and graph (watch out for negative functions!)

6. Identify amplitude, period and changes Identify Asymptotes and x – values Plot and graph (watch out for negative functions!)
