10. y = tan 2x, y = tan x

Solution

To draw the graph of y = tan 2x, we will follow the steps given below.
Step I- We find the value of c and a by comparing y = tan 2x with y = c tan ax, i.e. c = 1 and a = 2.
Step II- Then, we draw the graph of y = tan x and mark the point where it crosses the x-axis.
Step III- Divide the x-coordinates of the points where y = tan x crosses x-axis by 2(i.e. a = 2) and mark the maximum value (i.e. c = 1) and minimum value (i.e. $-$ c = $-$ 1).
Then, we will draw the graph of y = tan x.
