Finding the Asymptote of a Trigonometric Function

[Spiteria]

So I have the function f(x)=8tan(pi*x) and I need to find where the asymptotes will be if any.

There is an example of g(x)=tan(pi*x) given where the answer is (2n+1)/2, with n = all real integers. When I graph the equation the asymptotes seem to appear at the same position as for both functions, the curve for g(x) is just 8 times more compact. I've used (2n+1)/2 as an answer and 8[(2n+1)/2]. Neither has worked and I don't know where else to go with this.

Have you taken trigonometry yet?

Haven't had trig in a while

I haven't taken trigonometry in over a decade. I was going through the identities at the back of the book and I didn't see anything that would have helped there.

I don't know that identities would be helpful here. Instead, you might want to refresh on what the tangent curve is and does. Yes, it'll have asymptotes.
