Explanation:

Use the following Properties:

1. Quotient Property:
#tan x = sinx /cos x#

2. Pythagorean Property:
#cos^2x + sin^2 x =1#

3. Double Argument Property
#cos 2x = cos^2x-sin^2 x#

LEFT HAND SIDE:

#(1-tan^2(x/2))/(1+tan^2(x/2)) = (1-sin^2(x/2)/cos^2(x/2))/(1+sin^2(x/2)/cos^2(x/2))#

#=((cos^2(x/2)-sin^2(x/2))/cos^2(x/2))/((cos^2(x/2)+sin^2(x/2))/cos^2(x/2))#

#=(cos^2 (x/2)-sin^2(x/2))/(cos^2(x/2))*(cos^2(x/2))/(cos^2(x/2)+sin^2(x/2)#

#=(cos^2 (x/2)-sin^2(x/2))/cancel(cos^2(x/2))*cancel(cos^2(x/2))/(cos^2(x/2)+sin^2(x/2)#

#=(cos^2 (x/2)-sin^2(x/2))/(cos^2(x/2)+sin^2(x/2)#

#=(cos2(x/2))/1#

#=(coscancel2(x/cancel2))/1#

#= cos x#

#:.=# RIGHT HAND SIDE
