Amplitude = 1, Period = #pi#, Phase shift = 2

Explanation:

Standard form of equation is
#y = a tan (bx -c) + d#
Where Amplitude = a, Period = #(pi/|b|)#, Phase shift = #c/b#

Given equation is # y = tan (theta + (1/2))#

graph{tan(x + (1/2)) [-10, 10, -5, 5]}

Amplitude = 1, Period =# (pi/1) = pi# & Phase shift = 1/(1/2) = 2#
