    Secx + tanx = cosx / (1-sinx)

    Taking LHS

    = Secx + Tanx

    sec x = 1/cos x and

    tan x = sin x / cox x

    Putting the values of secx and tanx you will get

    = secx + tanx

    = 1/cosx + sinx / cosx

    By Taking LCM you will get

    = (1 + sinx) / cosx

    Multiply the numerator and denominator by (1-sinx)

    = (1-sinx) (1+sinx) / cosx (1-sinx)

    = (1-sin^2 x) / (cos x - sin x cos x)

    As 1-sin^2 x = cos^2 x therefore;

    = cos^2 x / [cosx (1-sin x) ]

    Divided numerator and denominator by cos x you will get

    = cosx / (1-sin x)
