Yes... see below

Explanation:

(Cot B + cos B)/(sec B - cos B) = (csc B + 1)/ tan^2 B

(CotB+cosB)/(1/cosB - cos^2 B/cosB)=

(CosB/SinB+(cosBsinB)/sinB)/(sin^2B/cosB)=

((CosB+cosBsinB)/sinB)*(cosB)/(sin^2B)=

((Cos^2B+cos^2BsinB)/sin^3B)=

Cos^2B/sin^3B+(cos^2BsinB)/sin^3B=

Cos^2B/sin^2B*1/sinB+cos^2B/sin^2B=

cot^2B*cscB+cot^2B=

cot^2B*cscB+cot^2B=

cscB/tan^2B+1/tan^2B=

(cscB+1)/tan^2B
