Answer

$\frac{1+\sin 2x}{\sin 2x}=1+\frac{1}{2}\sec x\csc x$

Work Step by Step

Start with the left side: $\frac{1+\sin 2x}{\sin 2x}$ Rewrite the expression as the sum of two fractions: $=\frac{1}{\sin 2x}+\frac{\sin 2x}{\sin 2x}$ $=\frac{1}{\sin 2x}+1$ Use the identity $\sin 2x=2\sin x\cos x$: $=\frac{1}{2\sin x\cos x}+1$ $=\frac{1}{2}*\frac{1}{\sin x}*\frac{1}{\cos x}+1$ Use the identities $\frac{1}{\sin x}=\csc x$ and $\frac{1}{\cos x}=\sec x$: $=\frac{1}{2}\csc x\sec x+1$ Rearrange: $=1+\frac{1}{2}\csc x\sec x$ $=1+\frac{1}{2}\sec x\csc x$ Since this equals the right side, the identity is proven.
