1. Problem Description
The problem asks us to simplify the expression and determine which of the given expressions is equivalent to it.
2. Solution Steps
We can use the tangent addition formula:
Comparing this with the given expression , we can see that and .
Thus, the expression simplifies to
To add the fractions and , we need a common denominator. The least common multiple of 4 and 6 is
1
2. So, $\frac{\pi}{4} = \frac{3\pi}{12}$ and $\frac{\pi}{6} = \frac{2\pi}{12}$.
Therefore, .
So, the expression simplifies to .
