Rewrite using identity: Step 1: Use the identity cot(θ)=tan(θ)1 to rewrite the second term.Calculation: 1−cotθ1+cotθ=1−tan(θ)11+tan(θ)1
Simplify with common denominator: Step 2: Simplify the expression by finding a common denominator for the terms in the second fraction.Calculation: (1+tan(θ)1)/(1−tan(θ)1)=(tan(θ)+1)/(tan(θ)−1)
Add fractions: Step 3: Add the two fractions together.Calculation: (1−tan(θ)1+tan(θ))+(tan(θ)−1tan(θ)+1)
Find common denominator: Step 4: Find a common denominator for the entire expression.Calculation: [(1−tan(θ))(tan(θ)−1)(1+tan(θ))(tan(θ)−1)+(tan(θ)+1)(1−tan(θ))]
Expand and simplify numerator: Step 5: Expand and simplify the numerator.Calculation: [\tan^\(2(\theta) - \tan(\theta) + \tan(\theta) - 1 + \tan(\theta) + 1 - \tan^2(\theta) + \tan(\theta)]/[(1-\tan(\theta))(\tan(\theta)−1)]
