The correct Answer is:
To simplify the expression \(\frac{\tan A}{1 - \cot A} + \frac{\cot A}{1 - \tan A}\), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Rewrite \(\tan A\) and \(\cot A\) in terms of sine and cosine We know that: \[ \tan A = \frac{\sin A}{\cos A} \quad \text{and} \quad \cot A = \frac{\cos A}{\sin A} \] Substituting these into the expression gives: \[ \frac{\frac{\sin A}{\cos A}}{1 - \frac{\cos A}{\sin A}} + \frac{\frac{\cos A}{\sin A}}{1 - \frac{\sin A}{\cos A}} \] ### Step 2: Simplify the denominators The denominators can be simplified: \[ 1 - \frac{\cos A}{\sin A} = \frac{\sin A - \cos A}{\sin A} \quad \text{and} \quad 1 - \frac{\sin A}{\cos A} = \frac{\cos A - \sin A}{\cos A} \] Now substituting these back into the expression gives: \[ \frac{\frac{\sin A}{\cos A}}{\frac{\sin A - \cos A}{\sin A}} + \frac{\frac{\cos A}{\sin A}}{\frac{\cos A - \sin A}{\cos A}} \] ### Step 3: Simplify the fractions This can be simplified further: \[ \frac{\sin^2 A}{\cos A (\sin A - \cos A)} + \frac{\cos^2 A}{\sin A (\cos A - \sin A)} \] Note that \(\cos A - \sin A = -(\sin A - \cos A)\), so we can rewrite the second term: \[ \frac{\sin^2 A}{\cos A (\sin A - \cos A)} - \frac{\cos^2 A}{\sin A (\sin A - \cos A)} \] ### Step 4: Combine the fractions Now, we can combine the two fractions: \[ \frac{\sin^2 A - \cos^2 A}{(\sin A - \cos A)(\sin A \cos A)} \] ### Step 5: Factor the numerator The numerator can be factored using the difference of squares: \[ \sin^2 A - \cos^2 A = (\sin A - \cos A)(\sin A + \cos A) \] Substituting this back gives: \[ \frac{(\sin A - \cos A)(\sin A + \cos A)}{(\sin A - \cos A)(\sin A \cos A)} \] ### Step 6: Cancel common terms We can cancel \((\sin A - \cos A)\) from the numerator and denominator (assuming \(\sin A \neq \cos A\)): \[ \frac{\sin A + \cos A}{\sin A \cos A} \] ### Final Expression Thus, the final simplified expression is: \[ \frac{\sin A + \cos A}{\sin A \cos A} \]

To simplify the expression \(\frac{\tan A}{1 - \cot A} + \frac{\cot A}{1 - \tan A}\), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Rewrite \(\tan A\) and \(\cot A\) in terms of sine and cosine We know that: \[ \tan A = \frac{\sin A}{\cos A} \quad \text{and} \quad \cot A = \frac{\cos A}{\sin A} \] Substituting these into the expression gives: ...
