Solution
LHS = `(sin A + cos A)/(sin A - cos A) + (sin A - cos A)/(sin A + cos A)`
= `((sin A + cos A)^2 + (sin A - cos A)^2)/((sin A - cos A)(sin A + cos A))`
= `(sin^2 A + cos^2 A + 2 sin A cos A + sin^2 A + cos^2 A - 2sin A. cos A)/(sin^2 A - cos^2 A)`
= `2(sin^2 A + cos^2 A)/(sin^A - cos^2 A)`
= `2/(sin^2 A - cos^2 A)`
= RHS
Hence proved.
