#1+tanx/2#

Explanation:

#1+tan^2x/(2tanx)#

=#1+(tanxtimestanx)/(2tanx)#

=#1+((cancel(tanx))(tanx))/(2 cancel tanx)#

=#1+tanx/2#

= csc 2x

Explanation:

#f(x) = (1 + tan^2 x) /(2tan x)#
Reminder:
#1 + tan^2 x = sec^2 x = 1/cos^2 x#
#f(x) = (1/(cos^2 x))/((2sin x)/(cos x)) = 1/(2sin x.cos x)#
#f(x) = 1/(sin 2x) = csc 2x#
