How do you graph y=3tan(2pit) over the interval [-1/2, 1/2]?

y = 3 tan 2pix.

The period for this graph is pi/(2pi) = 1/2

The asymptotes are 2pix = (( 2k + 1 )(pi/2) rArr x = ( 2k + 1 )/4

k = 0, +-1, +-2, +-3, ...#

So, the graph for x in [ - 1/2, 1/2 ] is for

x in [ -1/2, -1/4 ) U ( -1/4, 1/4) U ( 1/4, 1/2 ], excluding infinite

discontinuities at x = +- 1/4.

Now see graph.
graph{y-3 tan ( 2 pi x )=0[-0.5 0.5 ]} .
