The vertical asymptote is
\(x = -(3 \pi)/(8) + \pi n\).

How to determine this?

Step 1:

Given the function
\(p(x) = \tan \left(x - (\pi)/(8)\right)\):

There is no amplitude.

The period
\(= (2 \pi)/(b) = (2 \pi)/(2) = \pi\).

Hence, the period is
\(\pi\).

The phase shift is
\((\pi)/(8)\) to the right.

There is no vertical shift.

This function can be expressed in the standard form
\(a \tan(bx - c) + d\).

Step 2:

Domain:


\[x \mid x \\eq n + (5)/(8)\]

Range:


\((- \infty, \infty)\) or \(y \mid y \in \mathbb{R}\)

Regarding asymptotes:

There are no horizontal or oblique asymptotes.

The vertical asymptote is
\(x = -(3 \pi)/(8) + \pi n\).
