Question

URGENT PLEASE HELP: x = -pi/2 is an asymptote in the graph of y = tanx.

True or False

Answer 1

Explanation:

The answer is true!

Answer 2

Explanation:

tan is the same thing as sin/cos. therefore,

`tan(-(\pi)/(2))=(sin(-(\pi)/(2)) )/(cos(-(\pi)/(2)) )`

`sin(-(\pi)/(2))=-1` and
`cos(-(\pi)/(2))=0` so

`tan(-(\pi)/(2))=-(1)/(0)` which is undefined. On the graph, this is represented by an asymptote. So your answer is true.
