Prove that (1 − cos 2x + sin 2x)/(1 + cos 2x + sin 2x) = tan x

Prove that \[ \frac{1-\cos2x+\sin2x}{1+\cos2x+\sin2x}=\tan x \]

Proof: \[ LHS=\frac{1-\cos2x+\sin2x}{1+\cos2x+\sin2x} \] Using the identities: \[ 1-\cos2x=2\sin^2x \] \[ 1+\cos2x=2\cos^2x \] \[ \sin2x=2\sin x\cos x \] Substituting these values: \[ LHS=\frac{2\sin^2x+2\sin x\cos x}{2\cos^2x+2\sin x\cos x} \] Taking common factors: \[ LHS=\frac{2\sin x(\sin x+\cos x)}{2\cos x(\cos x+\sin x)} \] Cancel common terms: \[ LHS=\frac{\sin x}{\cos x} \] \[ =\tan x \] Hence proved, \[ \boxed{\frac{1-\cos2x+\sin2x}{1+\cos2x+\sin2x}=\tan x} \]
