Solution
LHS = `(1+ tan theta + cot theta )(sintheta - cos theta) `
=` sin theta + tan theta sin theta + cot theta sin theta - cos theta - tan theta cos theta - cot theta cos theta `
=`sin theta + tan theta sin theta + cos theta/sin theta xx sin theta - cos theta -sin theta/cos thetaxx cos theta - cot theta cos theta`
=`sin theta + tan theta sin theta + cos theta - cos theta - sin theta - cot theta cos theta`
=`tan theta sin theta - cot theta cos theta`
=`sin theta / cos theta xx 1/( cosec theta) - cos theta / sin theta xx 1/ sec theta`
=` 1/ (cosec theta) xx 1/ ( cosec theta ) xx sec theta - 1/ sec theta xx 1/ sec theta xx cosec theta`
=` sec theta / ( cosec^2 theta) - (cosec theta)/sec^2 theta`
= RHS
Hence, LHS = RHS

If cot θ = `40/9`, find the values of cosec θ and sinθ,
We have, 1 + cot2θ = cosec2θ
1 + `square` = cosec2θ
1 + `square` = cosec2θ
`(square + square)/square` = cosec2θ
`square/square` = cosec2θ ......[Taking root on the both side]
cosec θ = `41/9`
and sin θ = `1/("cosec" θ)`
sin θ = `1/square`
∴ sin θ = `9/41`
The value is cosec θ = `41/9`, and sin θ = `9/41`
