See double-cycle graph.

Explanation:

y = 1/3 tan x = 1/3 (sin x/cos x),

x ne ( zero of denominator ) kpi, k = 0, 1, +-2, +-3, ....

Tthe period of oo-arm tan wave = pi.

Amplitude of a wave of infinite length, about the axis y = 0 is pi/2.

x-intercepts ( zeros of the numerator )#

x = ( 2 k + 1 )pi/2, k = 0, +-1, +-2, +-3, ...

See oo-arm tan waves, for two cycles, between ( asymptotic )

x = +- pi. , .
