Hello, im having trouble with sketching the inverse function of f(x)= tan(x/2), -π≤x≤π .

I have the domain, range, period, and phase. I have drawn the mirror y=x, but i can't find the point of intersection. in which i equate y=x, and y=tan(x/2) to find where the mirror line and the forward function intersects. How do you simultaneously solve y=x, and y=tan(x/2),

It it x=tan(x/2)? Dunno what to do.

Are you just required to sketch the inverse function, in that case you just need the equation of the inverse equation and not worry about the point of intersection with y = x

Yea, sorry, the domain was -π≤x≤π and thanks.

By the way, those should be strict inequalities for the (natural) domain (), since the tan function would be undefined at the boundaries.
