If tan(
2
A

)=x, then the value of x is:

  1. A
    \sqrt{\frac{1+\cos A}{1-\cos A}}
  2. B
    \frac{1-\cos A}{1+\cos A}
  3. C
    \frac{1+\cos A}{1-\cos A}
  4. D
    \sqrt{\frac{1-\cos A}{1+\cos A}}

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Using half-angle trigonometric formulas:
sin
2
(
2
A

)=
2
1−cosA


cos
2
(
2
A

)=
2
1+cosA


Dividing the two equations:

tan
2
(
2
A

)=
cos
2
(
2
A

)
sin
2
(
2
A

)

=
1+cosA
1−cosA


Taking the square root on both sides:

tan(
2
A

)=
1+cosA
1−cosA





Therefore, x=
1+cosA
1−cosA
