How do you prove #sinx/(1-cosx) + (1-cosx)/sinx = 2csc x#? Trigonometry Trigonometric Identities and Equations Proving Identities 1 Answer maganbhai P. Aug 10, 2018 Please see below. Explanation: We take , #LHS=sinx/(1-cosx)+(1-cosx)/sinx# #LHS=sin^2x/(sinx(1-cosx))+(1-cosx)/sinx# #LHS#=#(1-cos^2x)/(sinx(1-cosx))+(1-cosx)/sinxto[because sin^2x+cos^2x#=#1]# #LHS=((1-cosx)(1+cosx))/(sinx(1-cosx))+(1-cosx)/sinx# #LHS=(1+cosx)/sinx+(1-cosx)/sinx# #LHS=(1+cosx+1-cosx)/sinx# #LHS=2/sinx# #LHS=2cscx# #LHS=RHS# Answer link Related questions What does it mean to prove a trigonometric identity?
