A Flipped Tangent

Part of the Graphs of Trig Functions section of Coddy's Trigonometry journey. Lesson 48 of 51.

The goal row gives a tangent with three changes to tan x at once: a new period, a flip and a lift. Draw it.

Challenge

Draw the graph on the goal row. Press Check.

Try it yourself

y=-tan(x/2)+1

Draw the graph

Test yourself
