Find the vertical asymptotes of the graph of the function

Click For Summary
The vertical asymptotes of the function tan(x)/x occur at x = π(2n + 1)/2, where n is an integer. There is no vertical asymptote at x = 0 because the limit of the function as x approaches 0 is 1. The initial solution provided was confirmed as correct by other participants in the discussion. The clarification about the behavior at x = 0 was appreciated. This reinforces the understanding of vertical asymptotes in relation to the function's limits.

I believe the answer is x=\frac{\pi(2n+1)}{2}. I would just like somebody to confirm or deny this. Thanks in advance.

If you are right, why is there no vert. asymptote at x = 0 ?
 
Is it because the limit as x approaches 0 is 1?
 
Correct !

So your answer in post #1 of this thread is right !
 
Thank you for your help.
