(sec(x) / (sec(x)-1)) - (sec(x) / (sex(x)+1)) = 2cot(x)csc(x)

1 answer

  1. On the left, get a common denominator of

    (secx-1)(secx+1) giving

    secx(secx+1)-secx(secx-1) all over the denominator
    which reduces to
    2secx over the denominator

    2secx/(sec^2x-1)=
    2secx*cos^2x/(1-cos^2x)=2cosx/sin^2x

    =2ctnx/sinx=2ctnx*cscx
