Question 845370: Hello, could you please help me?
I need to prove the following trig identity"
(tan 4t - tan 2t)/ (1+ tan4t tan2t) = (2tan t)/ (1-tan^2 t)
I know that it involves the sum and difference identities, but I don't know how to go about solving it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Each side is supposed to be in the form of a fraction. Thank you!

I need to prove the following trig identity"
(tan 4t - tan 2t)/ (1+ tan4t tan2t) = (2tan t)/ (1-tan^2 t)
----
The left side is tan(4t-2t) = tan(2t)
-----
The right side is tan(t + t) = tan(2t)
