Socratic graph for two periods 2pi is inserted.

Explanation:

The period of cos x is 2pi and the period of tan (2x) is pi/2.

So, the period of cos x + tan 2x is 2pi.

x = an odd mutiple of pi/2 is an asymptote, in both directions

uarr and darr.

The inserted graph is for a double period x in [-2pi, 2pi]

x = 0 is the divider, for this double-period graph.

y-intercept is 0.752, nearly, from cos x + tan (2x) = 0.

graph{cos x + tan (2x) [-6.28, 6.28, -5, 5]}
