(1+tanx)/(1-tanx) = cos(2x)/(1-sin(2x))
(1+sinx/cosx)/(1-sinx/cosx)
(cosx+sinx)/(cosx-sinx)
(cosx+sinx)/(cosx-sinx) • (cosx-sinx)/(cosx-sinx)
(cos2(x) -sin2(x))/(cosx - sinx)2 Double angle: cos2(x)-sin2(x) = cos(2x))
cos(2x)/(cos2(x)-2cos(x)sin(x)+sin2(x)) Note: cos2(x)+sin2(x) = 1
cos(2x)/(1-2cos(x)sin(x)) Double angle: 2cos(x)sin(x) = sin(2x)
cos(2x)/(1-sin(2x)) = cos(2x)/(1-sin(2x))

Seems like there are some missing parentheses (along with a division symbol) Perhaps: (1+tanx)/(1-tanx) = cos(2x)/(1-sin(2x)) ?07/29/21
