Prove each identity 

cos t / 1- sin t = 1+ sin t  / cos t 

Expert Solution
Step 1

We have to prove the identity:

cos t1-sin t=1+sin tcos t

Taking LHS part and rationalizing the denominator of the expression, we get

LHS=cos t1-sin t=cos t1-sin t×1+sin t1+sin t=cos t 1+sin t1-sin t1+sin t=cos t 1+sin t12-sin2 t  ( since a-ba+b=a2-b2 )=cos t 1+sin t1-sin2 t
