The tangent graph looks very different from the sine and cosine graphs. The tangent graph is still periodic, but it does not have an amplitude, a maximum, or a minimum. Another difference is that the tangent graph has asymptotes (lines that the graph gets close to but never crosses). These lines are not part of the graph.

 

Try graphing y = tan x in your graphing calculator to compare it to the y = sin x and y = cos x functions used in this lesson.
