The solution

You have entered [src]
f(x) = tan(x)*cot(x)
$$f{\left(x \right)} = \tan{\left(x \right)} \cot{\left(x \right)}$$
f = tan(x)*cot(x)
The points of intersection with the X-axis coordinate
Graph of the function intersects the axis X at f = 0
so we need to solve the equation:
$$\tan{\left(x \right)} \cot{\left(x \right)} = 0$$
Solve this equation
The points of intersection with the axis X:

Analytical solution
$$x_{1} = 0$$
$$x_{2} = \frac{\pi}{2}$$
Numerical solution
$$x_{1} = 0$$
$$x_{2} = 1.5707963267949$$
The points of intersection with the Y axis coordinate
The graph crosses Y axis when x equals 0:
substitute x = 0 to tan(x)*cot(x).
$$\tan{\left(0 \right)} \cot{\left(0 \right)}$$
The result:
$$f{\left(0 \right)} = \text{NaN}$$
- the solutions of the equation d'not exist
Extrema of the function
In order to find the extrema, we need to solve the equation
$$\frac{d}{d x} f{\left(x \right)} = 0$$
(the derivative equals zero),
and the roots of this equation are the extrema of this function:
$$\frac{d}{d x} f{\left(x \right)} = $$
the first derivative
$$\left(\tan^{2}{\left(x \right)} + 1\right) \cot{\left(x \right)} + \left(- \cot^{2}{\left(x \right)} - 1\right) \tan{\left(x \right)} = 0$$
Solve this equation
Solutions are not found,
function may have no extrema
Inflection points
Let's find the inflection points, we'll need to solve the equation for this
$$\frac{d^{2}}{d x^{2}} f{\left(x \right)} = 0$$
(the second derivative equals zero),
the roots of this equation will be the inflection points for the specified function graph:
$$\frac{d^{2}}{d x^{2}} f{\left(x \right)} = $$
the second derivative
$$2 \left(- \left(\tan^{2}{\left(x \right)} + 1\right) \left(\cot^{2}{\left(x \right)} + 1\right) + \left(\tan^{2}{\left(x \right)} + 1\right) \tan{\left(x \right)} \cot{\left(x \right)} + \left(\cot^{2}{\left(x \right)} + 1\right) \tan{\left(x \right)} \cot{\left(x \right)}\right) = 0$$
Solve this equation
Solutions are not found,
maybe, the function has no inflections
Horizontal asymptotes
Let’s find horizontal asymptotes with help of the limits of this function at x->+oo and x->-oo
$$\lim_{x \to -\infty}\left(\tan{\left(x \right)} \cot{\left(x \right)}\right) = \left\langle -\infty, \infty\right\rangle$$
Let's take the limit
so,
equation of the horizontal asymptote on the left:
$$y = \left\langle -\infty, \infty\right\rangle$$
$$\lim_{x \to \infty}\left(\tan{\left(x \right)} \cot{\left(x \right)}\right) = \left\langle -\infty, \infty\right\rangle$$
Let's take the limit
so,
equation of the horizontal asymptote on the right:
$$y = \left\langle -\infty, \infty\right\rangle$$
Inclined asymptotes
Inclined asymptote can be found by calculating the limit of tan(x)*cot(x), divided by x at x->+oo and x ->-oo
$$\lim_{x \to -\infty}\left(\frac{\tan{\left(x \right)} \cot{\left(x \right)}}{x}\right) = \lim_{x \to -\infty}\left(\frac{\tan{\left(x \right)} \cot{\left(x \right)}}{x}\right)$$
Let's take the limit
so,
inclined asymptote equation on the left:
$$y = x \lim_{x \to -\infty}\left(\frac{\tan{\left(x \right)} \cot{\left(x \right)}}{x}\right)$$
$$\lim_{x \to \infty}\left(\frac{\tan{\left(x \right)} \cot{\left(x \right)}}{x}\right) = \lim_{x \to \infty}\left(\frac{\tan{\left(x \right)} \cot{\left(x \right)}}{x}\right)$$
Let's take the limit
so,
inclined asymptote equation on the right:
$$y = x \lim_{x \to \infty}\left(\frac{\tan{\left(x \right)} \cot{\left(x \right)}}{x}\right)$$
Even and odd functions
Let's check, whether the function even or odd by using relations f = f(-x) и f = -f(-x).
So, check:
$$\tan{\left(x \right)} \cot{\left(x \right)} = \tan{\left(x \right)} \cot{\left(x \right)}$$
- No
$$\tan{\left(x \right)} \cot{\left(x \right)} = - \tan{\left(x \right)} \cot{\left(x \right)}$$
- No
so, the function
not is
neither even, nor odd
