Just compute the first terms of the Taylor series of 1 + sin θ 5 + 3 tan θ 4 cos θ , and you will get 1 2 θ + 4 θ 2 .

Approximate the numerator and denominator up to θ 2 terms and get
1 + θ + o ( θ 2 ) 1 + 3 θ + 2 θ 2 + o ( θ 2 ) = ( 1 + θ ) ( 1 3 θ + 7 θ 2 ) + o ( θ 2 ) = 1 2 θ + 4 θ 2 + o ( θ 2 ) .
