Answer

True

Work Step by Step

Recall the trigonometric identity for $tan$: $\tan(\alpha+\beta)=\dfrac{\tan(\alpha)+\tan(\beta)}{1-\tan(\alpha)\tan(\beta)}$ Therefore, $\tan(\ 2 \ \theta)= \tan(\theta+\ \theta)\\ =\dfrac{\tan(\theta)+\tan(\theta)}{1-\tan(\theta)\tan(\theta)}\\ =\dfrac{2\ \tan(\theta)}{1-\ \tan^2(\theta)}$ Hence, the given statement is $\bf{True}$.
