Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) tan 54\(^\circ\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Divide the numerator and the denominator by \(\cos 9^{\circ}\): \(\dfrac{\cos 9^{\circ} + \sin 9^{\circ}}{\cos 9^{\circ} - \sin 9^{\circ}} = \dfrac{1 + \tan 9^{\circ}}{1 - \tan 9^{\circ}}\) Using the identity \(\tan(A + B) = \dfrac{\tan A + \tan B}{1 - \tan A \tan B}\), and…
