Solution
LHS = `(sinA + cosA)/(sinA - cosA) + (sinA - cosA)/(sinA + cosA)`
= `((sinA + cosA)^2 + (sinA - cosA)^2)/((sinA + cosA)(sinA - cosA))`
= `(sin^2A + cos^2A + 2sinA cosA + sin^2A + cos^2A - 2sinA cosA)/(sin^2A - cos^2A)`
= `(2(sin^2A + cos^2A))/(sin^2A - cos^2A)`
= `2/(sin^2A - cos^2A)` [`sin^2A + cos^2A = 1`]
= `2/(sin^2A - cos^2A) = 2/(sin^2A - (1 - sin^2A))`
⇒ `2/(2sin^2A - 1)`
