Integration — practice question

Set $f(\theta) = \dfrac{1 - \cos 2\theta + \sin 2\theta}{1 + \cos 2\theta + \sin 2\theta}$.
(i)[3]

Demonstrate that $f(\theta) = \tan \theta$.

(ii)[4]

Hence prove that $\displaystyle \int_{\frac{\pi}{6}}^{\frac{\pi}{4}} f(\theta)\, d\theta = \frac{1}{2} \ln \frac{3}{2}$.
