(cosec A – sin A)(sec A – cos A) = 1/(tan A+cotA)
First, find the simplified form of L.H.S
L.H.S. = (cosec A – sin A)(sec A – cos A)
Now, substitute the inverse and equivalent trigonometric ratio forms
= (1/sin A – sin A)(1/cos A – cos A)
= [(1-sin2A)/sin A][(1-cos2A)/cos A]
= (cos2A/sin A)×(sin2A/cos A)
= cos A sin A
Now, simplify the R.H.S
R.H.S. = 1/(tan A+cotA)
= 1/(sin A/cos A +cos A/sin A)
= 1/[(sin2A+cos2A)/sin A cos A]
= cos A sin A
L.H.S. = R.H.S.
(cosec A – sin A)(sec A – cos A) = 1/(tan A+cotA)
Hence proved
