Use the coefficient on the variable x to find the period ...

For this problem, the coefficient on x is $1$ $1$ . Next, use this formula for finding the period for tangent ...

Period $= \frac{π}{coefficient} = \frac{π}{1} = π$ $=(pi)/"coefficient"=pi/1=pi$

So, this function has the same period as a standard tangent function except it has a phase shift of $\frac{π}{3}$ $pi/3$ . See graph below.

Hope that helped
