There is no tangent at #x=pi/2#

Explanation:

#pi/2# is not in the domain of the function #f(x)=tanx*cotx#, so there is no tangent line at #x=pi/2#.

This is a bit of a trick question.
For all #x# in the domain of #f#, we have #f(x)=1#,
so the equation of the tangent at any #x# in the domain is #y=1#.
But #pi/2# is not in the domain.
