Prove the following identities.
cot θ + tan θ = sec θ cosec θ
Prove that: tan θ + cot θ = sec θ cosec θ

Solution
L.H.S. = cot θ + tan θ
L.H.S. = `costheta/sintheta + sintheta/costheta`
L.H.S. = `(cos^2theta + sin^2theta)/(sintheta costheta)`
[cos2 θ + sin2 θ = 1]
L.H.S. = `1/(sintheta costheta)`
Use Reciprocal Identities:
The expression can be split into `(1/sin θ) xx (1/cos θ)`.
`1/sin θ` = cosec θ
`1/cos θ` = sec θ
L.H.S. = cosec θ.sec θ
L.H.S. = sec θ.cosec θ
∴ L.H.S. = R.H.S.
