Question 451912: High, can you help me verify the following formula? And please show steps so I can try and figure out how to do it. Thanks!
Cos[θ]^2/(1 - Sin[θ]) = 1 + Sin[θ]
I'm not even sure where to start!

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Cos[θ]^2/(1 - Sin[θ]) = 1 + Sin[θ]
------------
[1-sin^2(theta)]/[1-sin(theta)] = 1 + sin(theta)
-----
Factor:
[(1-sin(theta)(1+sin(theta)]/[1-sin(theta)] = 1+sin(theta)
------
Cancel the common [1-sin(theta)] factors to get:
----
[1+sin(theta)] = 1+sin(theta)
