One could write \displaystyle \tan\frac{u}{2} as a quotient involving sine and cosine, and then continue with the formula for half-angles,

but because this leads to square roots and difficulties with keeping a check on the correct sign in front of the roots, it is perhaps simpler instead to go backwards and work with the right-hand side.

We write \displaystyle u as \displaystyle 2\cdot(u/2)and use the formula for double angles (so as to end up with a right-hand side which has \displaystyle u/2 as its argument),
