Theorem

$\tan \left({x + \pi}\right) = \tan x$


Proof

\(\ds \tan \left({x + \pi}\right)\) \(=\) \(\ds \frac {\sin \left({x + \pi}\right)} {\cos \left({x + \pi}\right)}\) Tangent is Sine divided by Cosine
\(\ds \) \(=\) \(\ds \frac {-\sin x} {-\cos x}\) Sine of Angle plus Straight Angle and Cosine of Angle plus Straight Angle
\(\ds \) \(=\) \(\ds \tan x\) Tangent is Sine divided by Cosine

$\blacksquare$
