Use a unit circle tool to explore tangent values in different quadrants. Determine the values of tangent for angles between 0 and 2? radians. Use the information to determine what the graph of tan Ø will look like. This learning object is one in a series of seven objects. Three objects in the series are also packaged as a combined learning object.
Objective
Students explore the unit circle definition of the trigonometric function for tangent.
Students explore the values of tangent (from 0 to 2? radians).
Students identify discontinuities, symmetry, period and key values of the tangent function.
