This 120-second clip introduces the graph of by first building a unit-circle interpretation of tangent. On the left, the instructor draws axes, a unit circle, and a terminal ray for an angle , labels the intersection point as , and writes the identity . He then explains that this same ratio is the slope of the ray, , giving a geometric way to understand tangent values. The right half of the screen already contains a large radian-labeled coordinate grid reserved for the eventual graph, but no tangent curve is plotted in this segment. The clip ends as the instructor cleans up the diagram and begins a table for different angles. This 120-second whiteboard segment introduces graphing by first building a small table of values from the unit circle.

This 120-second whiteboard excerpt teaches the graph of by linking the unit-circle slope of a ray to the shape of the tangent curve. The instructor first completes the central branch between the vertical asymptotes at and , explaining that the slope tends to + near from the left and to -∞ near -π/2 from the right. He then continues past , showing that immediately after crossing the asymptote the ray’s slope is hugely negative, so the graph jumps to a new branch below the axis and rises again. Near the end, he introduces the example angle and begins rewriting it as , but the clip stops before the example is fully worked out. This 119-second whiteboard segment explains by treating tangent values as slopes of terminal rays on the unit circle. The speaker derives from a second-quadrant 45-45-90 triangle, then moves to and the next positive unit slope, plots corresponding points on the θ-y graph, and uses the unbounded behavior near to draw vertical asymptotes and state that the tangent graph repeats every π radians. This video segment introduces the graph of the tangent function, . It visually presents the characteristic repeating branches separated by vertical asymptotes. The narrator explains that the function is periodic, meaning the graph pattern continues indefinitely in both directions along the horizontal axis.

The clip opens with the function name written at the upper left while a large empty coordinate grid waits on the right. The immediate question is how to understand the tangent graph before actually plotting it.
To answer that, the instructor builds a small unit-circle diagram on the left: teal axes and a circle centered at the origin. This auxiliary picture is not the final graph; it is a geometric device for reading off tangent values from angles.
Next, a yellow ray is drawn from the origin into the first quadrant, and the angle between the positive -axis and the ray is labeled . This places the angle in standard position so its terminal side can meet the circle at a definite point.
The intersection point is then labeled . The key detail is the coordinate assignment: the horizontal coordinate is cosine and the vertical coordinate is sine. The speaker even audibly corrects an initial slip, reinforcing that the point is not .
With the point identified, the lesson writes the quotient identity . In this unit-circle setting, that means tangent is the ratio of the point’s -coordinate to its -coordinate.
The instructor then adds the slope interpretation . Because the ray starts at the origin and passes through , the rise-over-run of that ray is exactly the same ratio as . This is the central conceptual bridge of the clip: tangent can be seen as a slope, not merely as an algebraic fraction.
Finally, the extra annotations are cleared away and a new vertical line is drawn at the far left as the start of a table. The spoken transition indicates that the next stage will list several angles and compute the corresponding tangent values, but the table itself is not filled in before the clip ends.
The clip opens on a three-part whiteboard layout: a handwritten title , a two-column table headed and , a unit circle in the middle, and a blank Cartesian grid on the right. The purpose is to prepare for graphing the tangent function by first collecting a few reliable values.
The presenter starts with the easiest input, . On the unit circle the corresponding ray lies along the positive -axis, so there is no vertical change as the horizontal coordinate changes. Using the slope interpretation of tangent, this gives , and the pair is written into the table.
Next, the speaker explains the selection strategy: choose angles whose tangent values are easy to recognize, because those sample points will help reveal the overall shape of the graph of . This connects the geometric unit-circle reasoning to the numerical table that will later be transferred to the coordinate grid.
The next example is , described aloud as a 45-degree angle. A ray is drawn into the first quadrant, and a small right triangle is sketched to emphasize that the horizontal and vertical changes are equal. Since the slope is rise over run, equal changes imply slope , so .
The presenter reinforces the same conclusion algebraically by invoking . At , the sine and cosine values are the same, so their quotient is . The table is then updated with the row .
Finally, the speaker introduces and draws the corresponding ray below the positive -axis in the fourth quadrant. The written table entry records . The visual setup suggests a negative slope because the ray moves downward while progressing to the right, although the spoken explanation is cut off before it is fully completed.
The clip opens on a unit circle with the angle marked and a table for already listing and . The speaker identifies the relevant point on the circle: its cosine, the -coordinate, is , while its sine, the -coordinate, is . This establishes the coordinate inputs needed for the tangent calculation.
Using the definition , the video substitutes those two coordinates and obtains . The reasoning is that the magnitudes are equal but the signs are opposite, so the quotient is . By the end of this step, the missing table entry for is filled with .
Before moving to the graph, the presenter erases auxiliary construction marks from the unit circle so the same diagram can be reused. This cleanup does not change any values; it only prepares the board for the next stage, where numerical tangent values will be transferred onto a coordinate grid.
The right-hand grid is introduced as the graph of , with the horizontal axis labeled and the vertical axis labeled . The speaker then plots the first three known points directly from the table: , , and . These points anchor the beginning of the tangent curve.
Immediately after plotting them, the video warns against concluding that the graph is a straight line. The three points may look collinear at this coarse stage, but the speaker shifts attention to what happens as the angle increases toward . On the unit circle, the terminal ray becomes more and more vertical, so its slope becomes larger and larger positive.
At itself, the slope is undefined, but the limiting behavior as is that approaches . To represent this on the graph, a dashed vertical line is drawn at , identifying a vertical asymptote of the tangent function.
The screen is organized as a teaching board for : on the left are a handwritten title, a small table, and a cyan unit circle with yellow rays; on the right is a coordinate plane with horizontal axis θ and vertical axis y. This layout prepares a translation from geometric angle information to a function graph.
The instructor explains the central branch by tracking the slope of the ray on the unit circle. As the angle approaches from below, the ray becomes steeper and steeper in the positive direction, so the tangent value grows without bound; visually, the red curve rises toward the dashed line at .
He then asks what happens as the angle approaches -π/2. In the same slope picture, the ray becomes steeply negative, so the tangent value tends to -∞. On the graph, the left end of the branch drops toward the dashed line at .
At the boundary angle, the speaker states that the function is “not quite defined” and identifies a vertical asymptote. This turns the verbal limiting behavior into a clear graphical feature: the principal branch of tangent is trapped between two vertical asymptotes and passes through the origin.
Having finished the section over this part of the θ-axis, the instructor says the graph can keep going. The key move is to consider an angle just after crossing rather than stopping at the asymptote.
For an angle slightly larger than , the corresponding ray lies in the second quadrant. Its slope is therefore negative and very large in magnitude. This explains why the graph does not continue upward through the asymptote; instead it jumps to a new branch far below the x-axis just to the right of .
As θ increases further in that new interval, the slope becomes less and less negative, so the fresh branch rises. The visual logic is that each new period of tangent repeats the same pattern: unbounded growth near one asymptote, discontinuous reset, then renewed increase.
To anchor the next interval with a concrete example, the instructor marks an angle in the second quadrant and names it . He begins justifying the choice by rewriting it as , indicating that this angle lies a quarter-turn past the asymptote.
The clip ends while this example is still being set up. The mathematical point established so far is not a final numerical value for , but the method: use the unit-circle slope just beyond to explain why the tangent graph restarts on a lower branch and then increases.
The clip opens with the instructor locating on the unit circle by rewriting as and adding another . The visible whiteboard links three representations at once: a table of and , a unit circle with yellow terminal rays, and a gridded graph of .
He then explains why this angle matters geometrically. The terminal ray forms another -- triangle, so the horizontal and vertical distances have equal magnitude. Because the ray lies in the second quadrant, the x-distance is negative and the y-distance is positive. Under the clip’s slope interpretation of tangent, that sign pattern gives , matching the earlier slope seen at .
Next the angle is increased to . At that position the terminal ray is horizontal, so the slope returns to , giving . Increasing by another reaches the next special angle, visually consistent with , where the slope becomes positive again. These values are translated into plotted points on the right-hand graph.
The discussion then turns to what happens as the angle approaches . The speaker emphasizes that the slope becomes more and more positive and approaches positive infinity. In his words, a small movement in the x-direction corresponds to a very large movement upward in the y-direction, which is why the curve steepens dramatically near that boundary.
Using those behaviors, he sketches the tangent branch on the graph. The curve rises through the plotted points and shoots upward beside the vertical line at . He then states that the same pattern repeats every radians, so the graph continues in identical branches across neighboring intervals of length .
Finally, he draws dashed vertical asymptotes at the odd multiples of and uses them to separate the repeated branches. The closing visual message is that the graph of tangent is built from unit-circle slope values, has vertical asymptotes where the function becomes unbounded, and repeats periodically with period .
The video displays the equation alongside a unit circle diagram and a table of specific values. On the right, a coordinate plane shows the graph of the tangent function. The graph consists of multiple curved branches that pass through the origin and extend upwards and downwards towards infinity.
The narrator points out that the function is periodic. This means the pattern of the branches repeats at regular intervals. The graph shows these branches continuing infinitely to the left and right, separated by vertical dashed lines which represent asymptotes where the function is undefined.
The clip introduces the problem of becoming familiar with the graph of . Instead of plotting immediately, it first explains a geometric interpretation using the unit circle. The large right-hand grid is prepared for later graphing, but no curve is drawn in this excerpt.
A small coordinate system and circle are drawn on the left to represent the unit circle. This construction lets an angle be converted into a point in the plane, which then supports the definitions of sine, cosine, and tangent used in the rest of the clip.
The angle is shown with one side on the positive -axis and the other side as a ray from the origin. That ray intersects the unit circle, linking angle measure to a specific coordinate point.
The intersection of the terminal ray with the unit circle is labeled . The clip explicitly corrects the common swap error: the -coordinate is cosine and the -coordinate is sine.
The instructor states and writes . Within the unit-circle picture, this is the ratio of the point’s vertical coordinate to its horizontal coordinate. The clip does not explicitly mention the usual restriction .
Because the ray begins at the origin and passes through , the same ratio can be read as slope: change in over change in . This gives a direct geometric way to understand the magnitude and sign of tangent values as the angle changes.
After establishing the geometric meaning of tangent, the instructor cleans up the diagram and begins a table at the far left. The intended next step is to compare several angles with their tangent values, but the table entries are not shown within this 120-second clip.
This segment defines the working interpretation used throughout: for an angle , is read as the slope of the terminal ray drawn from the origin of the unit circle. A horizontal ray gives slope 0, an upward 45-degree ray gives slope 1, and a downward 45-degree ray gives slope -1.
When , the ray lies exactly along the positive -axis. As changes, does not change at all, so the slope is 0. The video records this as the first table entry.
Before drawing the full graph, the presenter chooses a few angles with especially simple tangent values. These sample points are entered into a table of versus and are intended to help infer the shape of the graph on the blank coordinate grid.
At , the unit-circle point has equal - and -coordinates. Moving the same amount horizontally and vertically means rise equals run, so the slope is 1. The presenter also notes that this corresponds to a 45-degree angle.
The video states the identity and applies it at . Because sine and cosine are equal there, their quotient is 1, matching the geometric slope argument.
The presenter then considers and draws the ray into the fourth quadrant. The table explicitly records the value , consistent with a downward-sloping ray of the same steepness as the case. The spoken justification begins but the clip ends before it is fully finished.
For the angle shown on the unit circle, the cosine is the -coordinate and the sine is the -coordinate . The video uses these exact coordinates as the starting data for computing tangent.
The tangent of an angle is computed as the ratio of sine to cosine. In this clip, that definition is applied to the unit-circle coordinates to turn geometric information into a function value.
Substituting the coordinates for gives a quotient of . This value is then written into the table as the entry corresponding to .
The graph is set up with horizontal axis and vertical axis . The first plotted points come directly from the table: , , and .
Even though the initial plotted points may suggest linear behavior, the video explicitly says the graph is not a line. The next step examines limiting behavior rather than connecting the points as if they determined a line.
As the angle approaches from below, the terminal ray on the unit circle becomes nearly vertical, so its slope becomes arbitrarily large positive. This is the intuitive basis for unbounded growth of tangent near .
Because becomes undefined at and tends to infinity on approach, the graph is marked with a dashed vertical asymptote at .
Between and , the graph is drawn as one increasing branch through the origin. The instructor obtains this shape from the unit-circle slope picture: near the slope becomes unbounded positive, and near -π/2 it becomes unbounded negative.
The clip explicitly says the function is “not quite defined” at the boundary and marks those locations with vertical dashed lines. These asymptotes separate one branch of the tangent graph from the next.
The lesson repeatedly interprets tan θ as the slope of the ray making angle θ with the positive x-axis. Steeper positive rays give larger positive tangent values; steep negative rays give large negative tangent values.
Immediately after crossing , the ray enters the second quadrant, where its slope is negative and very large in magnitude. Therefore the tangent graph does not continue upward through the asymptote; it restarts on a new branch below the x-axis and then rises as θ increases.

The red curve is drawn between the two dashed asymptotes and through the origin.
Start from the unit-circle picture: a ray from the origin represents the angle θ, and the lesson treats tan θ as the slope of that ray.
Explicitly stated in the audio at 00:00:13-00:00:18 and supported by the left-hand diagram.
As θ moves closer to , the ray becomes steeper and steeper in the positive direction, so the slope tends to +.
Directly stated by the speaker at 00:00:13-00:00:18 and shown by the rising right end of the red branch.
As θ moves closer to -π/2, the ray becomes steeper and steeper in the negative direction, so the slope tends to -∞.
Directly stated by the speaker at 00:00:18-00:00:36 and shown by the falling left end of the red branch.
Therefore the graph on the interval between -π/2 and is a single increasing branch passing through the origin and bounded by vertical asymptotes at both ends.

As θ continues to increase past , the slope becomes less negative, so the new branch rises.
