The image contains a mathematical expression involving tangent functions. Below is the transcription of the expression:

\[
\frac{\tan(40^\circ) - \tan(10^\circ)}{1 + \tan(40^\circ) \tan(10^\circ)}
\]

This expression is a trigonometric identity and can be related to the formula for the tangent of the difference of two angles:

\[
\tan(A - B) = \frac{\tan(A) - \tan(B)}{1 + \tan(A) \tan(B)}
\]

In this case, \( A = 40^\circ \) and \( B = 10^\circ \), suggesting the expression simplifies to \( \tan(30^\circ) \).
