Solution
`tan(pi/4 - theta/2)`
Explanation:
`costheta/(1 + sintheta) = (cos^2 theta/2 - sin^2 theta/2)/(cos^2 theta/2 + sin^2 theta/2 + 2sin theta/2 cos theta/2)`
= `((cos theta/2 - sin theta/2)(cos theta/2 + sin theta/2))/((cos theta/2 + sin theta/2)^2`
= `(cos theta/2 - sin theta/2)/(cos theta/2 + sin theta/2)`
Dividing numerator and denominator by `cos theta/2`, we get
`costheta/(1 + sintheta) = (1 - tan theta/2)/(1 + tan theta/2) = tan(pi/4 - theta/2)`
