As below.

$y = 4 tan(x/2)$

$"Standard form of the function : " y = A tan (Bx - C) + D$

$A = 4, B = (1/2), C = D = 0$

$"Amplitude " = |A| = 4, "but NONE for tangent function"$

$"Period " = pi / |B| = pi / (1/2) = 2pi$

$"Phase Shift " = -C / B = 0$

$"Vertical Shift " = D = 0$

graph{4 tan(x/2) [-10, 10, -5, 5]}
