Rewriting sqrt[(1 + i tan t)/(1 - i tan t)] as cos t + i sin t

[john425]

I am trying to rewrite -i arctan ix = arctanh x + c as
e^it = cos t + i sin t

I am having trouble rewriting
sqrt[ 1 + i tan t / 1 - i tan t]

as
cos t + i sin t

Is this possible or did I do something wrong?
What do I multiply the sqrts by.

When one is lost, it often helps to rewrite all trig functions in terms of sine and cosine.

How does that help here?

I just need help with the algebra, if my substitutions are correct

Because it usually helps you see the necessary manipulations. Besides, the answer you seek is in terms of sines and cosines, so you'll have to do it sometime anyways.
