tanx+%2B+cotx+%2F+secx+%2B+cosecx+=+1+%2F+sinx+%2B+cosx
------
tanx+%2B+%28cosx%2Fsinx%29%2F%281%2Fcosx%29+%2B+1%2Fsinx+=+1%2Fsinx+%2B+cosx
tanx+%2B+%28cos%5E2%28x%29%2Fsinx%29+%2B+1%2Fsinx+=+1%2Fsinx+%2B+cosx
Multiply by sine
tanx%2Asinx+%2B+cos%5E2%28x%29+%2B+1+=+1+%2B+cosx%2Asinx
tanx%2Asinx+%2B+cos%5E2%28x%29+=+cosx%2Asinx
sin%5E2%28x%29%2Fcosx+%2B+cos%5E2%28x%29+=+cosx%2Asinx
Not an identity.
