Prove that (1 + sinA) / CosA = (sinA- cosA+1) / (sinA+ cosA -1 )any proof with out cross multiplication

We'll use properties of proportions to prove the
identity.


First, we'll use componendo
property:


`a/b = c/d =gt (a+b)/b =
(c+d)/d`


`(1+sinA+cosA)/cosA =
(sinA-cosA+1+sinA+cosA-1)/(sinA+cosA-1)` 


We'll reduce like
terms from the numerator from the right side:


`(1 + sinA +
cosA)/cosA= (2sinA)/(sinA + cosA - 1)`


Now, we'll cross
multiply:


(sinA+cosA + 1)(sinA + cosA - 1) =
2sinAcosA


We notice that the product from the left side
returns a difference of two squares, while, to the right side, we've get a double angle
identity:


`(sinA + cos A)^2 - 1 = sin
2A`


We'll expand the
binomial:


`sin^2 A + 2sinAcosA + cos^2A - 1 = sin
2A`


But, from Pythagorean identity, we'll get `sin^2A +
cos^2A = 1` .


1 + sin2A - 1 =
sin2A


We'll eliminate like terms from the left
side:


sin2A =
sin2A


We notice that we've get the
same double angle identity both sides, therefore, the given expression represents an
identity.
