Answer

2 $ \sec u $

Work Step by Step

Given expression is- $ \frac{1 + \sin u}{\cos u} + \frac{\cos u}{1 + \sin u} $ = $\frac{(1 + \sin u)^{2} + \cos^{2} u}{\cos u(1 + \sin u)} $ = $\frac{1 + 2\sin u+ \sin^{2} u + \cos^{2} u}{\cos u(1 + \sin u)} $ = $\frac{1 + 2\sin u+ 1}{\cos u(1 + \sin u)} $ (using first Pythagorean identity) = $\frac{2 + 2\sin u}{\cos u(1 + \sin u)} $ = $\frac{2(1 + \sin u)}{\cos u(1 + \sin u)} $ = $2 . \frac{1}{\cos u} $ = $2 \sec u $
