We have to find least positive integer interval in which the solution of tanx+tanhx=0 lies.

Let f(x)=tan(x)+tanh(x)f(x) = tan(x) + tanh(x) .

Now, f(1)=tan(1)+tanh(1)=2.319>0f(1) = tan(1) + tanh(1) = 2.319 > 0 ,

f(2)=tan(2)+tanh(2)=1.221<0f(2) = tan(2) + tanh(2) = -1.221 < 0 ,

and f(3)=tan(3)+tanh(3)=0.8525>0f(3) = tan(3)+tanh(3) = 0.8525 > 0 .

We known that tanh(x)(1,1)tanh(x) \in (-1,1) for all values of xx .

Also, tan(x)tan(x) has infinite discontinuity at x=π2=1.57,3π2=4.71,...x = \frac{\pi}{2} = 1.57, \frac{3\pi}{2} = 4.71, ... .

Hence, least positive integer interval in which the solution of tanx+tanhx=0 lies is (2,3)(2,3) .
