The graph of function tan x can be shown below.

It is evident from the tan x graph that the value of tan x remains zero at ±π, ±2π, ±3π, so on. And it becomes ±∞ at ±π , ±3π , ±5π  and so on.

i.e., tan x = 0 for all x = nπ where n ∈ Z

tan x = ±∞ for all x =

(2n+1)π

where n ∈ Z.

Therefore, the function f(x) = tan x is  discontinuous at

(2n+1)π

such that n ∈ Z.
