Answer

$\dfrac{\tan x+\tan {\pi/2}}{1-\tan x \tan (\pi/2)}=-\cot x$ Verified

Work Step by Step

$\dfrac{\tan x+\tan {\pi/2}}{1-\tan x \tan (\pi/2)}=\dfrac{1+\dfrac{\tan x}{\tan {\pi/2}}}{1/\tan {\pi/2} -\tan x}$ or, $=\dfrac{\tan x \cot (\pi/2)+1}{\cot (\pi/2)-\tan x}$ or, $=\dfrac{-1}{\tan x}$ or, $=-\cot x$
