To simplify the expression (cos t)/(cos t/2 + sin t/2), we can use the double angle formulas for cosine and sine.
Recall that:cos(2x) = 2cos^2(x) - 1sin(2x) = 2sin(x)cos(x)
Let's use these two formulas to simplify the denominator (cos t/2 + sin t/2):
cos(t/2) = cos(2(t/4)) = 2cos^2(t/4) - 1sin(t/2) = sin(2(t/4)) = 2sin(t/4)cos(t/4)
Now we substitute these expressions into the denominator:
cos(t/2) + sin(t/2) = 2cos^2(t/4) - 1 + 2sin(t/4)cos(t/4)= 2(cos^2(t/4) + sin(t/4)cos(t/4)) - 1= 2cos(t/4) - 1
Therefore, the expression becomes:
(cos t)/(2cos(t/4) - 1)
This is the simplified expression for (cos t)/(cos t/2 + sin t/2).
To simplify the expression (cos t)/(cos t/2 + sin t/2), we can use the double angle formulas for cosine and sine.
Recall that:
cos(2x) = 2cos^2(x) - 1
sin(2x) = 2sin(x)cos(x)
Let's use these two formulas to simplify the denominator (cos t/2 + sin t/2):
cos(t/2) = cos(2(t/4)) = 2cos^2(t/4) - 1
sin(t/2) = sin(2(t/4)) = 2sin(t/4)cos(t/4)
Now we substitute these expressions into the denominator:
cos(t/2) + sin(t/2) = 2cos^2(t/4) - 1 + 2sin(t/4)cos(t/4)
= 2(cos^2(t/4) + sin(t/4)cos(t/4)) - 1
= 2cos(t/4) - 1
Therefore, the expression becomes:
(cos t)/(2cos(t/4) - 1)
This is the simplified expression for (cos t)/(cos t/2 + sin t/2).
