Which graph best represents tan (x/2) = y?
Let's think about this a bit.
tanx2=sinx2cosx2=0$Wellif$sinx2=0$thenthiswillbetrue$$NOTE:When$sinx2=0,cosx2=±1sinx2=0$when$x2=0,π,\2pi,3π,.....$multiplybothsidesby2$x=0,2π,4π,6π,........
The answer is C.
It is good to remember CPhill's answer but I have given you an explanation.
It's Graph "C." The function can be written as ....tan 1/2(x).... where the "1/2" makes the normal period of the tangent graph twice as long......!!!!
