To solve the problem, we need to find the value of \(\frac{a \sin A - b \cos A}{a \sin A + b \cos A}\) given that \(\tan A = \frac{a}{b}\). ### Step 1: Express \(\sin A\) and \(\cos A\) in terms of \(a\) and \(b\) Since \(\tan A = \frac{a}{b}\), we can express \(\sin A\) and \(\cos A\) using the definitions of tangent: \[ \sin A = \frac{a}{\sqrt{a^2 + b^2}}, \quad \cos A = \frac{b}{\sqrt{a^2 + b^2}} \] ...
