![**Simplifying Trigonometric Expressions**
Use the fundamental identities and appropriate algebraic operations to simplify the expression below:
\[
\frac{\tan^2 x - 12 \tan x - 13}{\tan x + 1}
\]
---
Simplify the expression:
\[
\frac{\tan^2 x - 12 \tan x - 13}{\tan x + 1} = \_\_\_
\]
(Simplify your answer. Use integers or fractions for any numbers in the expression.)
**Explanation:**
- The given expression involves the tangent function and requires the application of algebraic techniques such as factoring or using identities to simplify.
- Make sure to check for any opportunities to factor the numerator, as it is a quadratic expression.
**Note:**
The ellipsis (three dots) between the expressions represents a separator and does not imply any operation.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Fbcea6d79-c0c2-49cd-aa31-c3eca199518f%2F653de8f5-6ca0-49f1-9dce-1eae0a790daa%2F3crmzqr_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
