Write numerator of L.HS as:
= > (1-cosA)(1+cosA) + sinAsinB
= > 4sinA/2cosB/2(sinA/2cosB/2 + cosA/2sinB/2)
=> 4sinA/2cosB/2sin((A+B)/2)..................(1)
 
then write denominotor too by adjustmnet,
we get
deno.
as
=>  4cosA/2siinB/2sin((A+B)/2)
 
Divide them and get the R.H.S .i.e. tan a/2cotb/2..
