How do you simplify f(theta)=tan(theta/2)+sec(theta/4)-sin(theta/4)f(θ)=tan(θ2)+sec(θ4)sin(θ4) to trigonometric functions of a unit thetaθ?

+-sqrt(( 1 - cos theta )/( 1 + cos theta )±1cosθ1+cosθ
+ sqrt2 sqrt(1/( 1 +- 1/sqrt2 sqrt( 1 + cos theta ))+2 11±121+cosθ
- 1/sqrt2 sqrt( 1 - 1/sqrt2 sqrt ( 1 + cos theta ))121121+cosθ

Explanation:

I think that I have almost convinced the readers about the

scalar r = sqrt ( x^2 + y^2 ) >= 0.

Of course, sooner or later thetaθ, used in measuring clockwise or

anticlockwise time-oriented Natural rotations and revolutions, and

serving as a piπ-oriented location-marker, in the marker couple

( r, theta )(r,θ), would be declared as non-negative.

And now, I assume that theta >= 0θ0.

For this problem, if 0 <= theta in Q_4, theta/2 in Q-20θQ4,θ2Q2.

Accordingly, cos (theta/2) and tan (theta/2) <=0.cos(θ2)andtan(θ2)0.

f ( theta ) = +-sqrt(( 1 - cos theta )/( 1 + cos theta )f(θ)=±1cosθ1+cosθ

+ sqrt2 sqrt(1/( 1 +- cos (theta/2)))- 1/sqrt2 sqrt( 1 - cos (theta/2) )+2 11±cos(θ2)121cos(θ2)

= +-sqrt(( 1 - cos theta )/( 1 + cos theta )=±1cosθ1+cosθ

+ sqrt2 sqrt(1/( 1 +- 1/sqrt2 sqrt( 1 + cos theta ))+2 11±121+cosθ

- 1/sqrt2 sqrt( 1 +- 1/sqrt2 sqrt ( 1 + cos theta ))121±121+cosθ

Sign Disambiguation:

If theta notin Q_4θQ4, choose + for 1st and 2nd terms

and - for the 3rd. Otherwise. they are opposites.
