Prove that sec θ + tan θ = `cos θ/(1 - sin θ)`.
Proof: L.H.S. = sec θ + tan θ
= `1/square + square/square`
= `square/square` ......`(∵ sec θ = 1/square, tan θ = square/square)`
= `((1 + sin θ) square)/(cos θ square)` ......[Multiplying `square` with the numerator and denominator]
= `(1^2 - square)/(cos θ square)`
= `square/(cos θ square)`
= `cos θ/(1 - sin θ)` = R.H.S.
∴ L.H.S. = R.H.S.
∴ sec θ + tan θ = `cos θ/(1 - sin θ)`
