Detailed Solution

\tan \frac{π}{6} + \tan \frac{5 π}{16} + \tan (\frac{8 π + π}{16}) + \tan (\frac{8 π + 5 π}{16})

$(\tan \frac{π}{16} - \cot \frac{π}{16}) + (\tan \frac{5 π}{16} - \cot \frac{5 π}{16})$

$= (\frac{\sin \frac{π}{16}}{\cos \frac{π}{16}} - \frac{\cos \frac{π}{16}}{\sin \frac{π}{16}}) + \frac{\sin \frac{5 π}{16}}{\cos \frac{5 π}{16}} - \frac{\cos \frac{5 π}{16}}{\sin \frac{5 π}{16}}$

$= \frac{\sin^{2} \frac{π}{16} - \cos^{2} \frac{π}{16}}{\cos \frac{π}{16} \sin \frac{π}{16}} + \frac{\sin^{2} \frac{5 π}{16} - \cos^{2} \frac{5 π}{16}}{\cos \frac{5 π}{16} \sin \frac{5 π}{16}}$
