The tangent of x is defined as the the sine of x divided by the cosine of x, so
If x=0 then product is 0/1=0, which is a real solution. However for
Now, if x=0, then the product is 1/0 which is undefined, meaning that a solution does not exist, which means that sinx cannot be equal to 0 for cotx to exist
