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

Explanation:

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

Period =πcoefficient=π1=π

So, this function has the same period as a standard tangent function except it has a phase shift of π3 . See graph below.

Hope that helped
