Question 7 • Mathematics III

Which is an asymptote of the graph of the function y is equal to tangent of open paren 3 fourths x close paren ?

Answer
A
x is equal to 3 pi over 4
B
x is equal to negative 2 pi over 3
C
x is equal to 3 pi over 2
D
x is equal to negative 4 pi over 3

Explanation

The tangent function has vertical asymptotes when its input equals π/2 + kπ, where k is an integer. Set 3x/4 = π/2 + kπ and solve to get x = 2π/3 + 4kπ/3. Taking k = −1 gives x = −2π/3, so the asymptote is choice B, x equals negative 2π over 3.
