Question
Prove that
`(cot "A" + "cosec A" - 1)/(cot"A" - "cosec A" + 1) = (1 + cos "A")/"sin A"`

Solution
L.H.S = `(cot "A" + "cosec A" - 1)/(cot"A" - "cosec A" + 1)`
= `(cot"A" + "cosec A" - ("cosec"^2"A" - cot^2"A"))/(cot"A" - "cosec A" + 1)` .....`[(because 1 + cot^2"A" = "cosec"^2"A"),(therefore "cosec"^2"A" - cot^2"A" = 1)]`
= `(cot"A" + "cosec A" - ("cosec A" + cot"A")("cosec A" - cot"A"))/(cot"A" - "cosec A" + 1)` .....[∵ a2 – b2 = (a + b) (a – b)]
= `((cot"A" + "cosec A")(1 - "cosec A" + cot "A"))/(cot"A" - "cosec A" + 1)`
= cot A + cosec A
= `"cos A"/"sin A" + 1/"sin A"`
= `(cos "A" + 1)/"sin A"`
= R.H.S
∴ `(cot "A" + "cosec A" - 1)/(cot"A" - "cosec A" + 1) = (1 + cos "A")/"sin A"`
