Answer

$\left\{x\in\mathbb{R}|x\ne\frac{\pi}{4}+n\pi, x\ne\frac{\pi}{2}+n\pi,n \text{ is an integer}\right\}$.

Work Step by Step

The function is defined for all real x where the denominator $1-\tan x\ne0$. When $1-\tan x=0$, $\tan x=1$ $x=\frac{\pi}{4}+n\pi$ (n is an integer) The function is also undefined when $x=\frac{\pi}{2}+n\pi$ as $\tan x$ is undefined. $\therefore$ the domain is all real $x$, exluding $x=\frac{\pi}{4}+n\pi$ (n is an integer) and $x\ne\frac{\pi}{2}+n\pi$ (n is an integer).
