1. Problem Description

The problem asks us to simplify the expression tan(π4)+tan(π6)1tan(π4)tan(π6)\frac{\tan(\frac{\pi}{4}) + \tan(\frac{\pi}{6})}{1 - \tan(\frac{\pi}{4})\tan(\frac{\pi}{6})} and determine which of the given expressions is equivalent to it.

2. Solution Steps

We can use the tangent addition formula:
tan(a+b)=tan(a)+tan(b)1tan(a)tan(b)\tan(a+b) = \frac{\tan(a) + \tan(b)}{1 - \tan(a)\tan(b)}
Comparing this with the given expression tan(π4)+tan(π6)1tan(π4)tan(π6)\frac{\tan(\frac{\pi}{4}) + \tan(\frac{\pi}{6})}{1 - \tan(\frac{\pi}{4})\tan(\frac{\pi}{6})}, we can see that a=π4a = \frac{\pi}{4} and b=π6b = \frac{\pi}{6}.
Thus, the expression simplifies to
tan(π4+π6)\tan(\frac{\pi}{4} + \frac{\pi}{6})
To add the fractions π4\frac{\pi}{4} and π6\frac{\pi}{6}, 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, π4+π6=3π12+2π12=5π12\frac{\pi}{4} + \frac{\pi}{6} = \frac{3\pi}{12} + \frac{2\pi}{12} = \frac{5\pi}{12}.
So, the expression simplifies to tan(5π12)\tan(\frac{5\pi}{12}).

3. Final Answer

tan(5π12)\tan(\frac{5\pi}{12})
