Solution

LHS- $\sqrt{\frac{1 + c o s A}{1 - c o s A}}$

Multiplying with $\sqrt{1 + c o s A}$ on both numerator and denominator, we have,

= $\sqrt{\frac{1 + c o s A}{1 - c o s A} \times \frac{1 + c o s A}{1 + c o s A}}$

= $\sqrt{\frac{(1 + c o s A)^{2}}{1 - c o s^{2} A}}$

= $\frac{1 + c o s A}{\sqrt{s i n^{2} A}}$
= $\frac{1 + c o s A}{s i n A}$

= $\frac{1}{s i n A}$ + $\frac{c o s A}{s i n A}$

=cosecA + cotA

(b)
