Answer

$\tan\Big(x+\dfrac{\pi}{4}\Big)=\dfrac{1+\tan x}{1-\tan x}$

Work Step by Step

$\tan\Big(x+\dfrac{\pi}{4}\Big)=\dfrac{1+\tan x}{1-\tan x}$ Apply the addition formula for the tangent on the left side: $\dfrac{\tan x+\tan\dfrac{\pi}{4}}{1-\tan x\tan\dfrac{\pi}{4}}=\dfrac{1+\tan x}{1-\tan x}$ Evaluate $\tan\dfrac{\pi}{4}$: $\dfrac{\tan x+1}{1-(1)\tan x}=\dfrac{1+\tan x}{1-\tan x}$ Simplify and the identity will be proved: $\dfrac{1+\tan x}{1-\tan x}=\dfrac{1+\tan x}{1-\tan x}$
