Simplify arctan(sin x / (1+cos x)) for x ∈ (-π, π):
Ax²
Bx/2 (use half-angle: sin x/(1+cos x) = tan(x/2))
Cx
Darctan(x)
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. x/2 (use half-angle: sin x/(1+cos x) = tan(x/2))
Half-angle: sin x = 2 sin(x/2) cos(x/2), 1 + cos x = 2 cos²(x/2). Ratio = sin(x/2)/cos(x/2) = tan(x/2). For x/2 ∈ (-π/2, π/2), arctan(tan(x/2)) = x/2.
