Below

#(sinx+1)/(cosx+cotx)=tanx#

LHS
#(sinx+1)/(cosx+cotx)#

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

=#(sinx+1)/((sinxcosx+cosx)/sinx)#

=#(sinx^2+sinx)/(sinxcosx+cosx)#

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

=#(sinx cancel((sinx+1)))/(cosx cancel((sinx+1)))#

=#sinx/cosx#

=#tanx#

=RHS

Therefore, #(sinx+1)/(cosx+cotx)=tanx#
