Question 602464: Prove that the equation is an identity:

sinA(sinA + cotA) = 1 + cosA - cos^2 A
Also, please show the steps if you could. It would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Answer by stanbon(75887)   (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
sinA(sinA + cotA) = 1 + cosA - cos^2 A
----
On the left side:
sin^2 + sin(cos/sin)
---
= 1-cos^2 + cos
---
= 1 + cos - cos^2
