Answer

$$\frac{\sin x}{1+\cos x} =\frac{ 1-\cos x }{\sin x}$$

Work Step by Step

Since \begin{align*} \frac{\sin x}{1+\cos x}&=\frac{\sin x}{1+\cos x}\frac{1-\cos x}{1-\cos x}\\ &=\frac{\sin x(1-\cos x)}{1-\cos ^2x}\ \ \text{,Use} \ \ \cos ^2x+\sin ^2x=1 \\ &=\frac{\sin x(1-\cos x)}{\sin ^2x}\\ &=\frac{ 1-\cos x }{\sin x} \end{align*} Then $$\frac{\sin x}{1+\cos x} =\frac{ 1-\cos x }{\sin x}$$
