`sqrt((1 + sin θ)/(1 - sin θ)) = sec θ + tan θ`
Prove the following:
`sqrt((1 + sin θ)/(1 - sin θ)) = (sec θ + tan θ)`

Solution
LHS = `sqrt((1 + sin θ)/(1 - sin θ))`
=`sqrt(((1 + sin θ))/(1 - sin θ) xx ((1 + sin θ))/(1 + sin θ))`
=` sqrt(((1 + sin θ)^2)/(1 - sin^2 θ))`
=`sqrt(((1 + sin θ)^2)/(cos^2 θ))`
=`(1 + sin θ)/cos θ`
=`1/cos θ + (sin θ)/(cos θ)`
= sec θ + tan θ
= RHS
