Question
Prove that: $\frac{\sin(\theta+\phi)-2\sin\theta+\sin(\theta-\phi)}{\cos(\theta+\phi)-2\cos\theta+\cos(\theta-\phi)}=\tan\theta$

Answer

We have, $\text{LHS}=\frac{\sin(\theta+\phi)-2\sin\theta+\sin(\theta-\phi)}{\cos(\theta+\phi)-2\cos\theta+\cos(\theta-\phi)}$ $=\ \frac{\sin(\theta+\phi)+\sin(\theta-\phi)-2\sin\theta}{\cos(\theta+\phi)+\cos(\theta-\phi)-2\cos\theta}$ $=\ \frac{2\sin\Big[\frac{(\theta+\phi)+(\theta-\phi)}{2}\Big]\cos\Big[\frac{(\theta+\phi)-(\theta-\phi)}{2}\Big]-2\sin\theta}{2\cos\Big[\frac{(\theta+\phi)+(\theta-\phi)}{2}\Big]\cos\Big[\frac{(\theta+\phi)-(\theta-\phi)}{2}\Big]-2\cos\theta}$ $=\ \frac{2\sin(\theta)\cos(\phi)-2\sin(\theta)}{2\cos(\theta)\cos(\phi)-2\cos\theta}$ $=\ \frac{2\sin\theta(\cos\phi-1)}{2\cos\theta(\cos\phi-1)}$ $=\ \frac{\sin\theta}{\cos\theta}=\tan\theta$ $=\ \text{RHS}$ $\therefore\ \frac{\sin(\theta+\phi)-2\sin\theta+\sin(\theta-\phi)}{\cos(\theta+\phi)-2\cos\theta+\cos(\theta-\phi)}=\tan\theta$ Hence proved.
