Answer

$(sec~\theta+tan~\theta)(1-sin~\theta) = cos~\theta$

Work Step by Step

We can see that the graph looks like $y = cos~\theta$. We can verify this algebraically. $(sec~\theta+tan~\theta)(1-sin~\theta)$ $= (\frac{1}{cos~\theta}+\frac{sin~\theta}{cos~\theta})(1-sin~\theta)$ $= (\frac{1+sin~\theta}{cos~\theta})(1-sin~\theta)$ $= \frac{1-sin^2~\theta}{cos~\theta}$ $= \frac{cos^2~\theta}{cos~\theta}$ $= cos~\theta$
