Maya 2020 fundamentals - modelling the real world

Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

Graph Editor, tangent question

I can't for the life of me remember how to lengthen the tangent lines on a curve in the graph editor. say i have a nice curve, like a ball bouncing with key frames i set every 10, you get basically a nice sine wave of some sort.

I want to make the peaks more round, I recall pulling the tangent controls away from the curve to make it more round.

but i can't do that right now, wondering what i have to do to be able to do this

anybody know? really could use this as soon as possible since i'm stuck user added image
