Sharp EL-9600 - Page 22

For Discussion
Students can use the calculators to discuss why tangent does not have an
amplitude, the period and period changes of tangent, the phase shifts for
tangent, and what happens when you multiply tangent by a constant.
Additional Problems
Use the following to demonstrate the period, period changes and phase
shifts for tangent.
(1) Compare tan θ with (
-
2)tan θ
(2) Compare tan θ with tan
(3) Compare tan θ with tan (θ – )
(4) Compare tan θ with tan (θ + ) + 2
