# What does it mean that the ..?

What does it mean that the tangent function has a origin symmetry?

And try your best to simple the question that i can easily understand what

does it mean.

Thanks!

i can't still understand what you told, or if you could imply what a symmetry is, I could think that would be more clearly for me to grasp the concept of an origin symmertry of tangent function. Thanks!!

The tangent function is one of trigonometric functions.

The graph of tangent function is symmetrical at the orgin i.e. at the (0, 0)

f(x)=tanx, x isn't equal to π/2＋kπ let y is belong to real number.

it's graph is as follows.

I don't need to give an example, the graph proves why the tangent function is symmetrical at the origin. When you substitude x and x accords with π/2＋kπ, you let k=0 and k=-1, you should know it. Because we have known tan(-x)=-tanx, if 0＜x＜π/2.

Symmetry is a cncept that one graph is another graph's reflecting. Reflecting, for example, p's reflction is q, it is like a alphabet p stand in front of a mirror, the q is an image by reflecting.

According that, The graph in the interval[0,π/2) let it rotate π rad along qrigin(0, 0), it just becomes the graph in the interval(-π/2,0], the phenomenon is called Rotational symmetry.

reflction→reflection

I have over my addition's times which I have ever regulated. If you still have questions, I could reply here.

Substitude should be modified "input". You could undrestand.

it has a symmetry about x and y

about x: reflect the graph of y=2^x i.e. y=-2^x.

about y: reflect the graph of y=2^x i.e. y=2^(-x)

2007-09-25 14:12:18 補充：

about x=y:reflect the graph of y=2^x i.e. y=the bottom 2 and real number x combines a logarithmic function.

I hope to let you understand.

it is a concept we should have known very clearly. I don't konw why you don't realize.

I hope you can realize more.

The signs of two sides have some quantity. And quantity y/quantity x(left)=quantity y/quantity x(right). It is called symmetry about origin (0, 0)

At the Cartesian coordinate system(直角座標系), if y quantity/x quantity=some value, and the left quantity=the right quantity, then we can tell the graph has a synmmetry about x or y or origin or else.

The problem you asked is one of trigonometric fonctions---tangent function(f(x)=tanx)
