Since tangent is not a one-to-one function, the domain must be limited to -pi/2 to pi/2, which is called the restricted tangent function. The graph of the inverse tangent function is a reflection of the restricted tangent function over y = x. Note that the vertical asymptotes become horizontal, at y = pi/2 and y = -pi/2, and the domain and ranges swap for the inverse function.
