Answer:
Identity is true
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]\frac{cos\theta+1}{tan^2\theta}=\frac{cos\theta}{sec\theta-1}[/tex]
[tex](cos\theta+1)(sec\theta-1)=(tan^2\theta)(cos\theta)[/tex]
[tex](cos\theta)(sec\theta)+(cos\theta)(-1)+(1)(sec\theta)+(1)(-1)=(\frac{sin^2\theta}{cos^2\theta})(cos\theta)[/tex]
[tex](cos\theta)(\frac{1}{cos\theta})-cos\theta+sec\theta-1=\frac{sin^2\theta}{cos\theta}[/tex]
[tex]1-cos\theta+sec\theta-1=\frac{sin^2\theta}{cos\theta}[/tex]
[tex]-cos\theta+sec\theta=\frac{sin^2\theta}{cos\theta}[/tex]
[tex]sec\theta-cos\theta=\frac{sin^2\theta}{cos\theta}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{1}{cos\theta}-cos\theta=\frac{sin^2\theta}{cos\theta}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{1}{cos\theta}-\frac{cos^2\theta}{cos\theta}=\frac{sin^2\theta}{cos\theta}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{1-cos^2\theta}{cos\theta}=\frac{sin^2\theta}{cos\theta}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{sin^2\theta}{cos\theta}=\frac{sin^2\theta}{cos\theta}[/tex]
Therefore, the identity is true.
