MCQ
Solution
`("cos" 8° - "sin" 8°)/("cos" 8° + "sin" 8°)` is equal to `underline(tan 37°)`.
Explanation:
`= ("cos" 8° - "sin" 8°)/("cos" 8° + "sin" 8°)`
`= (("cos" 8°)/("cos" 8°) - ("sin" 8°)/("cos" 8°))/(("cos" 8°)/("cos" 8°) + ("sin" 8°)/("cos" 8°))`
`= (1 - "tan" 8°)/(1 + "tan" 8°)`
`= "tan" (45° - 8°)`
` = "tan" 37°`
