Question

where does the graph of the function y=tan(x) have asymptotes? at the values of x where cos(x)=0 at the values of x where sin(x)=0 at the values of x where cos(x) is undefined at the values of x where sin(x) is undefined

Answer 1

A- cos=0

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer: at the values where cos(x) = 0

Justification:

1) tan(x) = sin(x) / cos(x).

2) functions have vertical asymptotes at x = a if Limit of the function x approaches a is + or - infinity.

3) the limit of tan(x) approaches +/- infinity where cos(x) approaches 0.

Therefore, the grpah of y = tan(x) has asymptotes where cos(x) = 0.

You can see the asympotes at x = +/- π/2 on the attached graph. Remember that cos(x) approaches 0 when x approaches +/- (n+1) π/2, for any n ∈ N, so there are infinite asymptotes.
