Hi, there--

The Problem

Simplify this expression.


There is some ambiguity about what parts of the expression you mean to by the "over." 
This is the expression that I simplified. If this is not your expresso, feel free to email me back 
and I'll resolve.

Solution:
Substitute sin(A)/cos(A) for tan (A).


Cancel like terms in the numerator and denominator.


Simplify the double division in the third term.
sin%28A%29%2Bsin%28A%29%2B%28sin%28A%29cos%5E2%28A%29sec%28A%29%29%2F%28sin%5E2%28A%29%29

Substitute 1/cos(A) for sec(A).
sin%28A%29%2Bsin%28A%29%2B%28sin%28A%29cos%5E2%28A%29%29%2F%28sin%5E2%28A%29cos%28A%29%29

Combine like terms.
2sin%28A%29%2B%28sin%28A%29cos%5E2%28A%29%29%2F%28sin%5E2%28A%29cos%28A%29%29

Cancel like terms in the numerator and denominator.
2sin%28A%29%2Bcos%28A%29%2Fsin%28A%29

Substitute cot(A) for cos(A)/sin(A)
2sin%28A%29%2Bcot%28A%29

All the Best,
