Oplossing - Solution

$\\{\color{Green}.}\;\;\tan x+\tan(90^\circ+x)+\tan(180^\circ+x)+\tan(270^\circ+x)\\=\tan x+\tan(90^\circ+x)+\tan x\qquad\qquad+\tan(90^\circ+x)\\=2.\tan x+2.\cot[90^\circ-(90^\circ+x)]\\=2.\tan x+2.\cot(-x)\\=2.\tan x-2.\cot x\\=2\left(\frac{\sin x}{\cos x}-\frac{\cos x}{\sin x}\right)=2.\frac{\sin^2x-\cos^2x}{\sin x.\cos x}=4.\frac{-\cos 2x}{\sin 2x}=-4\,\cot 2x$
