Answer:
See proof below
Step-by-step explanation:
show that
sinx/1+cosx=tanx/2
From LHS
sinx/1+cosx
According to half angle
sinx = 2sinx/2 cosx/2
cosx = cos²x/2 - sin²x/2
cosx = cos²x/2 - (1- cos²x/2)
cosx = 2cos²x/2 - 1
cos x + 1 = 2cos²x/2
Substitute into the expression;
sinx/1+cosx
= (2sinx/2 cosx/2)/2cos²x/2
= sinx.2/cos x/2
Since tan x = sinx/cosx
Hence sinx/2/cos x/2 = tan x/2 (RHS)
This shows that sinx/1+cosx=tanx/2
