(cotA -cosA)/(cotA + cosA) = (cosecA-1)/(cosecA+1)

 

(cotA -cosA)/(cotA + cosA)

((cosA/sinA)-cosA)/((cosA/sinA)-cosA)            cotA=cosA/sinA

taking cosA common from numretor nd denominatr nd cancelling it we get

 

((1/sinA)-1)/((1/sinA)+1)     since 1/sinA=cosecA 

therfore 

 (cosecA-1)/(cosecA+1)
