 = tanē(q)

In the left side:

Replace tan(q) with 
and
Replace cot(q) with 



Write as a division:



Get a common denominator in each:





Invert the second fraction and change division to multiplication:



Factor sin(q)out of left numerator
and factor cos(q) out of right denominator:



The two expressions in parentheses will cancel:









tanē(q)
