prove that :
1. 1+sin A/cos A = sec A + tan A
Change to sines and cosines:
1+sin A/cos A = sec A + tan A
(1 + sin)/cos = 1/cos + sin/cos = (1 + sin)/cos QED
-------------------
2. 1-(cos^2 A/1+sinA)= sin A
Multiply thru by (1 + sin)
1+sin - cos^2 = sin + sin^2
Add cos^2
1 + sin = sin + sin^2+ cos^2
sin^2 + cos^2 = 1 (Pythagorean Identity)
= sin + 1 QED
---------------
3. cscA-cotA = sinA/1+cosA

To do these, you just try things.
Change to sines and cosines and look for something you recognize.
