Tan(π/3+π/4) = %28tan%28pi%2F3%29%2Btan%28pi%2F4%29%29%2F%281-%28tan%28pi%2F3%29%29%28tan%28pi%2F4%29%29%29
= %28sqrt%283%29%2B1%29%2F%281-sqrt%283%29%29, knowing that tan%28pi%2F3%29+=+sqrt%283%29 and tan%28pi%2F4%29+=+1.
Simplifying the last expression by rationalizing the denominator, we get
Tan(π/3+π/4) = -2-sqrt%283%29
