Solution
L.H.S. = (sin θ + cos θ)(tan θ + cot θ)
= `(sin theta + cos theta)(sin theta/cos theta + costheta/sin theta)`
= `(sin theta + cos theta)((sin^2 theta + cos^2 theta)/(costhetasin theta))`
= `(sintheta+costheta)xx1/(sinthetacostheta)` ...[∵ sin2θ + cos2θ = 1]
= `(sin theta + cos theta)/(cos theta sin theta)`
= `sin theta/(cos thetasin theta) + cos theta/(cos theta sin theta)`
= `1/cos theta + 1/sin theta`
= `sec theta + cosec theta`
= R.H.S
Hence proved.
