How do you simplify tan π/4 + cot π/4? Trigonometry Right Triangles Trigonometric Functions of Any Angle 1 Answer Srinivas Oct 6, 2015 2 Explanation: #tan pi / 4# = 1 #cot pi / 4# is also = 1 So, #tan pi / 4 + cot pi / 4# = 1 + 1 = 2 Answer link Related questions How do you find the trigonometric functions of any angle?
