Question 5 • Mathematics III

What is the domain of the function y is equal to tangent of open paren x over 8 close paren ?

Answer
A
all real numbers except 8 pi plus 4 n pi , where n is any integer
B
all real numbers except 8 pi plus 8 n pi , where n is any integer
C
all real numbers except 4 pi plus 4 n pi , where n is any integer
D
all real numbers except 4 pi plus 8 n pi , where n is any integer

Explanation

The tangent function is undefined when its angle equals π/2 plus an integer multiple of π. Set x/8 = π/2 + nπ and multiply both sides by 8 to get x = 4π + 8nπ, where n is any integer. Therefore, the domain is all real numbers except 4π + 8nπ, which is choice D.
