The points of intersection with the Y axis coordinate
The graph crosses Y axis when x equals 0:
substitute x = 0 to tan(x/2).
tan⁡(02)\tan{\left(\frac{0}{2} \right)}
The result:
f(0)=0f{\left(0 \right)} = 0
The point:
(0, 0)
Extrema of the function
In order to find the extrema, we need to solve the equation
ddxf(x)=0\frac{d}{d x} f{\left(x \right)} = 0
(the derivative equals zero),
and the roots of this equation are the extrema of this function:
ddxf(x)=\frac{d}{d x} f{\left(x \right)} =
the first derivative
tan⁡2(x2)2+12=0\frac{\tan^{2}{\left(\frac{x}{2} \right)}}{2} + \frac{1}{2} = 0
Solve this equation
Solutions are not found,
function may have no extrema
Inflection points
Let's find the inflection points, we'll need to solve the equation for this
d2dx2f(x)=0\frac{d^{2}}{d x^{2}} f{\left(x \right)} = 0
(the second derivative equals zero),
the roots of this equation will be the inflection points for the specified function graph:
d2dx2f(x)=\frac{d^{2}}{d x^{2}} f{\left(x \right)} =
the second derivative
(tan⁡2(x2)+1)tan⁡(x2)2=0\frac{\left(\tan^{2}{\left(\frac{x}{2} \right)} + 1\right) \tan{\left(\frac{x}{2} \right)}}{2} = 0
Solve this equation
The roots of this equation
x1=0x_{1} = 0

Сonvexity and concavity intervals:
Let’s find the intervals where the function is convex or concave, for this look at the behaviour of the function at the inflection points:
Concave at the intervals
[0,∞)\left[0, \infty\right)
Convex at the intervals
(−∞,0]\left(-\infty, 0\right]
Horizontal asymptotes
Let’s find horizontal asymptotes with help of the limits of this function at x->+oo and x->-oo
lim⁡x→−∞tan⁡(x2)=⟨−∞,∞⟩\lim_{x \to -\infty} \tan{\left(\frac{x}{2} \right)} = \left\langle -\infty, \infty\right\rangle
Let's take the limit
so,
equation of the horizontal asymptote on the left:
y=⟨−∞,∞⟩y = \left\langle -\infty, \infty\right\rangle
lim⁡x→∞tan⁡(x2)=⟨−∞,∞⟩\lim_{x \to \infty} \tan{\left(\frac{x}{2} \right)} = \left\langle -\infty, \infty\right\rangle
Let's take the limit
so,
equation of the horizontal asymptote on the right:
y=⟨−∞,∞⟩y = \left\langle -\infty, \infty\right\rangle
Inclined asymptotes
Inclined asymptote can be found by calculating the limit of tan(x/2), divided by x at x->+oo and x ->-oo
True

Let's take the limit
so,
inclined asymptote equation on the left:
y=xlim⁡x→−∞(tan⁡(x2)x)y = x \lim_{x \to -\infty}\left(\frac{\tan{\left(\frac{x}{2} \right)}}{x}\right)
True

Let's take the limit
so,
inclined asymptote equation on the right:
y=xlim⁡x→∞(tan⁡(x2)x)y = x \lim_{x \to \infty}\left(\frac{\tan{\left(\frac{x}{2} \right)}}{x}\right)
Even and odd functions
Let's check, whether the function even or odd by using relations f = f(-x) и f = -f(-x).
So, check:
tan⁡(x2)=−tan⁡(x2)\tan{\left(\frac{x}{2} \right)} = - \tan{\left(\frac{x}{2} \right)}
- No
tan⁡(x2)=tan⁡(x2)\tan{\left(\frac{x}{2} \right)} = \tan{\left(\frac{x}{2} \right)}
- No
so, the function
not is
neither even, nor odd
