  1. Answer:

    We want to prove that:

    cos

    A

    1

    tan

    A

    +

    sin

    A

    1

    cot

    A

    cos

    A

    +

    sin

    A

    If we manipulate the LHS we have:

    L

    H

    S

    =

    cos

    A

    1

    tan

    A

    +

    sin

    cot

    A

    =

    cos

    A
