(cos A–sin A+1)/(cos A+sin A–1) = cosec A + cot A, using the identity cosec2A = 1+cot2A.

With the help of identity function, cosec2A = 1+cot2A, let us prove the above equation.

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

Divide the numerator and denominator by sin A, we get

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

We know that cos A/sin A = cot A and 1/sin A = cosec A

= (cot A – 1 + cosec A)/(cot A+ 1 – cosec A)

= (cot A – cosec2A + cot2A + cosec A)/(cot A+ 1 – cosec A) (using cosec2A – cot2A = 1

= [(cot A + cosec A) – (cosec2A – cot2A)]/(cot A+ 1 – cosec A)

= [(cot A + cosec A) – (cosec A + cot A)(cosec A – cot A)]/(1 – cosec A + cot A)

=  (cot A + cosec A)(1 – cosec A + cot A)/(1 – cosec A + cot A)

=  cot A + cosec A = R.H.S.

Therefore, (cos A–sin A+1)/(cos A+sin A–1) = cosec A + cot A

Hence Proved
