Solution
LHS = `(cot^2 theta ( sec theta - 1))/((1+ sin theta))+ (sec^2 theta(sin theta-1))/((1+ sec theta))`
= `(cos^2 theta/sin^2 theta(1/costheta-1))/((+ sin theta)) + (1/cos^2 theta(sin theta -1))/((1+ 1/cos theta))`
= `((cos^2 theta)/(sin^2 theta )((1- cos theta)/(cos theta)))/((1+sin theta))+ (((sin theta -1 ))/(cos ^2theta ))/(((cos theta + 1 )/(cos theta)))`
= `(cos^2 theta (1- cos theta))/(sin^2 theta cos theta (1+ sin theta))+ ((sin theta -1) cos theta)/((cos theta +1 ) cos^2 theta)`
= `(cos theta (1-cos theta))/((1- cos^2 theta)(1+ sin theta)) + ((sin theta -1)cos theta)/((costheta + 1 ) (1- sin^2 theta))`
= `(cos theta (1-cos theta))/((1- cos theta )( 1+ cos theta )(1+ sin theta)) + (-(1 sin theta ) cos theta)/((cos theta +1)(1-sin theta )(1+ sin theta))`
= `cos theta/((1+ cos theta )(1+ sin theta)) - cos theta/((1 + cos theta)(1+ sin theta))`
= 𝜃
= RHS
