Question
### Trigonometric Identity Verification

#### Problem Statement
**d) Verify the identity**

\[
\text{tan}\left(\frac{\theta}{2}\right) = \frac{\sin \theta}{1 + \cos \theta}
\]

In this problem, we are asked to verify the trigonometric identity that involves the tangent of half an angle, \(\frac{\theta}{2}\), and relates it to the sine and cosine of the angle \(\theta\). This is a classic identity in trigonometry and is useful in various contexts such as integration and solving trigonometric equations. 

To verify this identity, we will use known trigonometric identities and algebraic manipulation.
