See below

Explanation:

LHS=left hand side, RHS=right hand side

LHS=tanx1+secx+1+secxtanx

=(tanx)(tanx)+(1+secx)(1+secx)tanx(1+secx)

=tan2x+1+2secx+sec2xtanx(1+secx)

=(tan2x+1)+2secx+sec2xtanx(1+secx)

=sec2x+2secx+sec2xtanx(1+secx)

=2sec2x+2secxtanx(1+secx)

=2secx(secx+1)tanx(1+secx)

=2secxtanx

=21cosxsinxcosx

=21cosx×cosxsinx

=21sinx

=2cscx

=RHS
