The asymptotes are at x=pi/2+kpi, x in ZZ

Explanation:

The vertical asymptotes of a function are usually located in points, where the function is undefined. In this case since tanx=sinx/cosx, the asymptotes are located where cosx=0 (denominator of a fraction cannot be zero) which leads to the answer: x=pi/2+kpi, x in ZZ
