Graphs of the Other Trigonometric Functions · Challenge problem

Wherever both are defined, the graph of y=tan⁡(x+π3)y=\tan\left(x+\dfrac{\pi}{3}\right) is sometimes above and sometimes below the graph of y=tan⁡xy=\tan x. Find the smallest positive value of tan⁡(x+π3)−tan⁡x\tan\left(x+\dfrac{\pi}{3}\right)-\tan x.
