"Amplitude" = abs(a) = 4 "Period" = pi/b = pi/2 "Phase Shift" = c/b = pi/2
Explanation:
Here's one way to write a generic tangent function that has been transformed in some way.
In this scenario:
"Amplitude" = abs(a) "Period" = pi/b "Phase Shift" = c/b
For your specific problem, the coefficient
The values are identical, but a bit easier to spot:
"Amplitude" = abs(a) = 4 "Period" = pi/b = pi/2 "Phase Shift" = c/b = pi/2
If this function was a sine or cosine function, the period would be
