Prove the following identities, where the angles involved are acute angles for which the trigonometric ratios are defined:

1 + cosec Acosec A=cos2 A1 - sin A\dfrac{\text{1 + cosec A}}{\text{cosec A}} = \dfrac{\text{cos}^2 \text{ A}}{\text{1 - sin A}}

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

1 + cosec Acosec A1+1sin A1sin Asin A + 1sin A1sin Asin A(sin A + 1)sin Asin A + 1\Rightarrow \dfrac{\text{1 + cosec A}}{\text{cosec A}} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{1 + \dfrac{1}{\text{sin A}}}{\dfrac{1}{\text{sin A}}} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{\dfrac{\text{sin A + 1}}{\text{sin A}}}{\dfrac{1}{\text{sin A}}} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{\text{sin A(sin A + 1)}}{\text{sin A}} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \text{sin A + 1}

The R.H.S. of the equation can be written as,

1sin2A1sin A(1 - sin A)(1 + sin A)1 - sin A1 + sin A\Rightarrow \dfrac{1 - \text{sin}^2 A}{1 - \text{sin A}} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{\text{(1 - sin A)(1 + sin A)}}{\text{1 - sin A}} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \text{1 + sin A}

Since, L.H.S. = R.H.S. hence, proved that 1 + cosec Acosec A=cos2 A1 - sin A\dfrac{\text{1 + cosec A}}{\text{cosec A}} = \dfrac{\text{cos}^2 \text{ A}}{\text{1 - sin A}}
