Express $\tan3\theta$ as a rational function in terms of $\tan\theta$

145 Views Asked by At

So I know that a rational function is a function that can be defined by a rational fraction and I managed to expand $$\tan3\theta=\frac{3\tan\theta-\tan^3\theta}{1-3\tan^2\theta}$$ Is this considered as a rational function? Thanks guys.

Yes, you have represented $\tan3\theta$ as a rational function of $\tan\theta$, because both the numerator and denominator are polynomials in $\tan\theta$.
