Thanks CPhill,

 

CPhill and I   have both interpreted your question to mean

y=tan2x+tanx

 

If x=0 then y=0 because   tan0=0

 

If y=0 then

tanx(tanx+1)=0tanx=0ortanx+1=0sinx=0ortanx=1x=nπ±π2orx=nπ±3π4nZ

 

 

My answer is the same as CPhill"s

Here's a graph.........https://www.desmos.com/calculator/wpfchryj3k

 

This function  intersects the x axis   at    -45° + k*180°  and at   0° + k*180°  {where k is an integer}

 

It only intersects the y axis at the origin....!!!!
