Start with the more complicated expression and simplify.




You have obvious other simplifications to do first.
, based on Commutative Property for Addition





Simplest common denominator is cos(A).




This appears not to be same as cosec(A)+sec(A).

Try starting with the other expression instead.





Much work done so far, but the identity is not proved, and it is likely not an identity.
