Step-by-step explanation:
Using the trigonometric identities
tan A = [tex]\frac{sinA}{cosA}[/tex] , cot A = [tex]\frac{cosA}{sinA}[/tex]
Consider the left side
(1 + cotA + tanA)(sinA - cosA)
each term in the second factor is multiplied by each term in the first factor.
1(sinA - cosA) + cotA(sinA - cosA) + tanA(sinA - cosA)
= sinA - cosA + cosA - [tex]\frac{cos^2A}{sinA}[/tex] + [tex]\frac{sin^2A}{cosA}[/tex] - sinA ( collect like terms )
= [tex]\frac{sin^2A}{cosA}[/tex] - [tex]\frac{cos^2A}{sinA}[/tex]
= ( sinA × [tex]\frac{sinA}{cosA}[/tex] ) - ([tex]\frac{cosA}{sinA}[/tex] × cosA )
= sinAtanA - cotAcosA
= right side ⇒ proven
