Question
### Determining the Domain of the Function

**Problem Statement:**
The domain of 
\[ f(\theta) = \tan\left(\frac{1}{2}\pi\theta\right) - 2 \]
is:

**Options:**
1. All real numbers except for odd integers
2. All real numbers except for odd multiples of \(\frac{1}{2}\)
3. All real numbers except for even integers
4. All real numbers except for even multiples of \(\frac{1}{2}\)

**Explanation:**
To determine the domain of the given function, we need to identify values of \( \theta \) for which the function is undefined.

- The tangent function, \(\tan(x)\), is undefined for:
\[ x = \frac{\pi}{2} + k\pi \quad \text{where } k \text{ is any integer} \]

In our function, \( x = \frac{1}{2}\pi\theta \).
- Therefore,
\[ \frac{1}{2}\pi\theta = \frac{\pi}{2} + k\pi \]
- Solving for \( \theta \):
\[ \theta = 1 + 2k \quad \text{where } k \text{ is any integer} \]

Thus, \( \theta \) is undefined for odd integers.  
  
**Correct Answer:**
- \(\quad\) \(\bigcirc\) All real numbers except for odd integers
