L.H.S. of the equation can be written as,

cotθ+cosecθ1cotθcosecθ+1cosθsinθ+1sinθ1cosθsinθ1sinθ+1cosθ+1sinθsinθcosθ1+sinθsinθcosθ+1sinθcosθ1+sinθcosθ+(1sinθ)cosθ(1sinθ)cosθ+(1sinθ)cosθ(1sinθ)×cosθ+(1sinθ)cosθ+(1sinθ)[cosθ+(1sinθ)]2cos2θ(1sinθ)2cos2θ+(1sinθ)2+2cosθ(1sinθ)cos2θ(1sinθ)2cos2θ+sin2θ+1+2cosθ2sinθ2sinθcosθcos2θ1sin2θ+2sinθ By formula, sin2A+cos2A=11+1+2cosθ2sinθ2sinθcosθ1sin2θ1sin2θ+2sinθ2+2cosθ2sinθ2sinθcosθ2sinθ2sin2θ2(1+cosθ)2sinθ(1+cosθ)2sinθ(1sinθ)(1+cosθ)(22sinθ)2sinθ(1sinθ)2(1+cosθ)(1sinθ)2sinθ(1sinθ)1+cosθsinθ.\Rightarrow \dfrac{\cot \theta + \cosec \theta - 1}{\cot \theta - \cosec \theta + 1} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{\dfrac{\cos \theta}{\sin \theta} + \dfrac{1}{\sin \theta} - 1}{\dfrac{\cos \theta}{\sin \theta} - \dfrac{1}{\sin \theta} + 1} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{\dfrac{\cos \theta + 1 - \sin \theta}{\sin \theta}}{\dfrac{\cos \theta - 1 + \sin \theta}{\sin \theta}} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{\cos \theta + 1 - \sin \theta}{\cos \theta - 1 + \sin \theta} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{\cos \theta + (1 - \sin \theta)}{\cos \theta - (1 - \sin \theta)} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{\cos \theta + (1 - \sin \theta)}{\cos \theta - (1 - \sin \theta)} \times \dfrac{\cos \theta + (1 - \sin \theta)}{\cos \theta + (1 - \sin \theta)} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{[\cos \theta + (1 - \sin \theta)]^2}{\cos^2 \theta - (1 - \sin \theta)^2} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{\cos^2 \theta + (1 - \sin \theta)^2 + 2\cos \theta(1 - \sin \theta)}{\cos^2 \theta - (1 - \sin \theta)^2} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{\cos^2 \theta + \sin^2 \theta + 1 + 2\cos \theta - 2\sin \theta - 2\sin \theta \cos \theta}{\cos^2 \theta - 1 - \sin^2 \theta + 2\sin \theta} \\[1em] \text{ By formula, } \sin^2 A + \cos^2 A = 1 \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{1 + 1 + 2\cos \theta - 2\sin \theta - 2\sin \theta \cos \theta}{1 - \sin^2 \theta - 1 - \sin^2 \theta + 2\sin \theta} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{2 + 2\cos \theta - 2\sin \theta - 2\sin \theta \cos \theta}{2\sin \theta - 2\sin^2 \theta} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{2(1 + \cos \theta) - 2\sin \theta (1 + \cos \theta)}{2\sin \theta (1 - \sin \theta)} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{(1 + \cos \theta) (2 - 2\sin \theta)}{2\sin \theta (1 - \sin \theta)} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{2(1 + \cos \theta) (1 - \sin \theta)}{2\sin \theta (1 - \sin \theta)} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{1 + \cos \theta}{\sin \theta}.

Since, L.H.S. = R.H.S.

Hence, proved that (cotθ+cosecθ1cotθcosecθ+1)=(1+cosθsinθ)\Big(\dfrac{\cot \theta + \cosec \theta - 1}{\cot \theta - \cosec \theta + 1}\Big) = \Big(\dfrac{1 + \cos \theta}{\sin \theta}\Big).
