(cos(1/2 x)+sin(1/2 x))/(cos (1/2 x)-(sin(1/2 x))=secx+tanx Answer by Alan3354(69443) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! please help me to prove this. Thank you.
(cos(1/2 x)+sin(1/2 x))/(cos (1/2 x)-(sin(1/2 x))=secx+tanx
---------------
Half-angle formulas are usually messier than double angle formuals.

Start with this:
If that's confusing, sub y for x/2:
---
cos(2y) = cos^2(y) - sin^2(y) = (cos(y)-sin(y))*(cos(y)+sin(y))
Multiply by (cos(y)-sin(y))
