The period of the function $f(x) = \tan(4x - 1)$ is:
The period of the function $f(x) = \tan(4x - 1)$ is:
Show Hint
Horizontal or vertical shifts do not change the period.
Only the coefficient of \( x \) affects it.

- $\pi$
- $\frac{\pi}{2}$
- $2\pi$
- $\frac{\pi}{4}$
- $\frac{3\pi}{4}$
Show Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
Concept:
The fundamental period of \( \tan x \) is \( \pi \).
For a function of the form \( \tan(ax + b) \), the period is:
\[
T = \frac{\pi}{|a|}
\]
Step 1: Identify the coefficient of \( x \).
Given: \[ f(x) = \tan(4x - 1) \] So, \( a = 4 \).
Step 2: Apply the period formula.
\[ T = \frac{\pi}{|4|} = \frac{\pi}{4} \]
Step 3: Final answer.
\[ \boxed{\frac{\pi}{4}} \]
