How do you verify #cosx/(1-sinx)= secx+tanx#? Trigonometry Trigonometric Identities and Equations Proving Identities 1 Answer dani83 Aug 20, 2015 # sec A = 1/cos A# #tan A = sin A/cos A# # sin^2 A + cos^2 A = 1# # sec x + tan x = (1+sin x)/cos x = ((1+sin x)(1-sin x))/(cos x(1-sin x)) = (1-sin^2 x)/(cos x(1-sin x)) = cos x/(1-sin x) # Answer link Related questions What does it mean to prove a trigonometric identity?
