1. The problem is to determine which of the points A, B, C, or D lie on the graph of the function $f(x) = \tan(5x)$.
2. To check if a point $(x,y)$ lies on the graph, we substitute $x$ into the function and see if $f(x) = y$.
3. Recall that $\tan(\theta)$ is the tangent function, and we will use exact values for tangent at special angles.
4. Check point A: $x = -\frac{\pi}{6}$, $y = \frac{2}{3}\sqrt{3}$.
Calculate $f\left(-\frac{\pi}{6}\right) = \tan\left(5 \times -\frac{\pi}{6}\right) = \tan\left(-\frac{5\pi}{6}\right)$.
Since $\tan(-\theta) = -\tan(\theta)$,
$$\tan\left(-\frac{5\pi}{6}\right) = -\tan\left(\frac{5\pi}{6}\right).$$
$\tan\left(\frac{5\pi}{6}\right) = \tan\left(\pi - \frac{\pi}{6}\right) = -\tan\left(\frac{\pi}{6}\right) = -\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$.
Therefore,
$$f\left(-\frac{\pi}{6}\right) = -\left(-\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\right) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}.$$
Compare with $y = \frac{2}{3}\sqrt{3}$.
Since $\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{3}$ and $\frac{2}{3}\sqrt{3} = \frac{2\sqrt{3}}{3}$, these are not equal.
So point A is not on the graph.
5. Check point B: $x = -\frac{\pi}{3}$, $y = \frac{1}{2}\sqrt{3}$.
Calculate $f\left(-\frac{\pi}{3}\right) = \tan\left(5 \times -\frac{\pi}{3}\right) = \tan\left(-\frac{5\pi}{3}\right)$.
Since $\tan$ has period $\pi$,
$$\tan\left(-\frac{5\pi}{3}\right) = \tan\left(-\frac{5\pi}{3} + 2\pi\right) = \tan\left(\frac{\pi}{3}\right) = \sqrt{3}.$$
Compare with $y = \frac{1}{2}\sqrt{3}$.
They are not equal, so point B is not on the graph.
6. Check point C: $x = \frac{2\pi}{3}$, $y = \sqrt{3}$.
Calculate $f\left(\frac{2\pi}{3}\right) = \tan\left(5 \times \frac{2\pi}{3}\right) = \tan\left(\frac{10\pi}{3}\right)$.
Reduce angle modulo $\pi$:
$$\frac{10\pi}{3} - 3\pi = \frac{10\pi}{3} - \frac{9\pi}{3} = \frac{\pi}{3}.$$
So,
$$f\left(\frac{2\pi}{3}\right) = \tan\left(\frac{\pi}{3}\right) = \sqrt{3}.$$
This matches $y = \sqrt{3}$.
So point C is on the graph.
7. Check point D: $x = \frac{\pi}{6}$, $y = -\frac{1}{3}\sqrt{3}$.
Calculate $f\left(\frac{\pi}{6}\right) = \tan\left(5 \times \frac{\pi}{6}\right) = \tan\left(\frac{5\pi}{6}\right)$.
As before,
$$\tan\left(\frac{5\pi}{6}\right) = -\tan\left(\frac{\pi}{6}\right) = -\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} = -\frac{\sqrt{3}}{3}.$$
Compare with $y = -\frac{1}{3}\sqrt{3} = -\frac{\sqrt{3}}{3}$.
They are equal, so point D is on the graph.
Final answer: Points C and D lie on the graph of $f(x) = \tan(5x)$.
