It's an identity. \(\displaystyle \frac{1}{\sin\theta+1}+\frac{1}{\csc\theta+1} \:=\:1\) Click to expand... \(\displaystyle \text{On the left, the second fraction is: }\;\frac{1}{\frac{1}{\sin\theta} + 1}\) \(\displaystyle \text{Multiply by }\frac{\sin\theta}{\sin\theta}\!:\quad \frac{\sin\theta}{\sin\theta}\cdot \frac{1}{\frac{1}{\sin\theta} + 1} \;=\;\frac{\sin\theta}{1 + \sin\theta}\) \(\displaystyle \text{The left side becomes: }\:\frac{1}{1 + \sin\theta } + \frac{\sin\theta}{1 + \sin\theta} \;=\;\frac{1+\sin\theta}{1+\sin\theta} \;=\;1\)
