Find number of solution of : $$\sin x+\cos x =k\tan x \ \ \ \ :k \in \mathbb{R} , 0\leq x\leq2\pi$$

My work :

$$\sqrt{2}\sin (x+\pi/4)=\frac{k}{\sqrt{2}}\tan x$$

now $\dfrac{k}{\sqrt{2}}=\tan y$ then :

$$\sin (x+\pi/4)=\tan y \tan x$$

now what do i do ?

Consider the function

$$f(x)=\frac{\sin x+\cos x}{\tan x}=\frac{\sqrt{2}\sin (\frac{\pi}{4}+x)}{\tan x}$$

and study the number of solution of

$$f(x)=k$$
