Double-Angle, Half-Angle, and Reduction Formulas · Exercise 4

For the half-angle formula given in the previous exercise for $t an (\frac{x}{2}),$ explain why dividing by 0 is not a concern. (Hint: examine the values of $cos x$ necessary for the denominator to be 0.)

This exercise builds on another exercise in its source book, which isn't shown here.
