Solution
L.H.S
= `(tantheta)/(1-cottheta) + (cottheta)/(1-tantheta) `
= `(sintheta/costheta)/(1-costheta/sintheta) + (costheta/sintheta)/(1-sintheta/costheta)`
= `(sintheta/costheta)/((sintheta-costheta)/(sintheta))+ (costheta/sintheta)/((costheta-sintheta)/costheta)`
= `(sin^2theta)/(costheta(sintheta-costheta)) - (cos^2theta)/(sintheta(sintheta-costheta))`
= `1/(sintheta - costheta)[(sin^2theta)/costheta - cos^2theta/sintheta]`
= `(1/(sintheta-costheta))[(sin^3theta-cos^3theta)/(sinthetacostheta)]`
= `(1/(sintheta-costheta))[((sintheta-costheta)(sin^2theta+cos^2theta+sinthetacostheta))/(sinthetacostheta)]`
= `((1+sinthetacostheta))/((sinthetacostheta))`
= sec θ cosec θ + 1
= R.H.S
