Question
How do you draw this graph and how do you determine the undefined when period changes ?
**Equation and Transformations:**

The given equation is:
\[ y = -2 \tan \left(\frac{x}{4} + \frac{\pi}{2}\right) = -2 \tan \frac{1}{4}(x + 2\pi) \]

- **Vertical Reflection:** The negative sign reflects the graph vertically.
- **Vertical Stretch:** The factor of 2 stretches the graph vertically by 2.
- **Amplitude (A):** Not applicable (N/A) for tangent functions.
- **Period (p):** Calculated as \( \pi \times 4 = 4\pi \).
- **Horizontal Shift (HS):** The graph is shifted \( 2\pi \) to the left.

**Graph:**

The graph represents the tangent function described above:

- **Axes:**
  - The vertical axis (y-axis) ranges from -2 to 2.
  - The horizontal axis (x-axis) is labeled from \(-4\pi\) to \(-\pi\) in increments of \(\pi\).

The graph illustrates a transformed tangent function with a vertical reflection and stretch, along with horizontal translation. The period of the function is \(4\pi\), indicating the distance required for the function to start repeating.
