  1. (cos A/(1+sin A)) + ((1+sin A)/cos A) = 2 sec A

    Now, take the L.H.S of the given equation.

    L.H.S. = (cos A/(1+sin A)) + ((1+sin A)/cos A)

    = [cos2A + (1+sin A)2]/(1+sin A)cos A

    = (cos2A + sin2A + 1 + 2sin A)/(1+sin A) cos A

    Since cos2A + sin2A = 1, we can write it as

    = (1 + 1 + 2sin A)/(1+sin A) cos A

    = (2+ 2sin A)/(1+sin A)cos A

    = 2(1+sin A)/(1+sin A)cos A

    = 2/cos A = 2 sec A = R.H.S.

    L.H.S. = R.H.S.

    (cos A/(1+sin A)) + ((1+sin A)/cos A) = 2 sec A

    Hence proved.
