Question

If `tan θ = a/b` then `((cos θ + sin θ))/((cos θ - sin θ))` = ?

Options

  • `(a + b)/(a - b)`

  • `(a - b)/(a + b)`

  • `(b + a)/(b - a)`

  • `(b - a)/(b + a)`

Solution

`bb((b + a)/(b - a))`

Explanation:

Dividing num. and denom. by cos θ, we get

`((cos θ + sin θ))/((cos θ - sin θ)) = ((1 + tan θ))/((1 - tan θ))`

= `((1 + a/b))/((1 - a/b))`

= `((b + a))/((b - a))`
