Answer

As left side transforms into right side, hence given identity- $\tan x (\cos x + \cot x)$ = $ \sin x + 1$ is true.

Work Step by Step

Given identity is- $\tan x (\cos x + \cot x)$ = $ \sin x + 1$ Taking L.S. $\tan x (\cos x + \cot x)$ = $\cos x . \frac{\sin x}{\cos x} + \tan x . \cot x)$ ( Using ratio identity for $\tan x$) = $\sin x + 1$ { $\tan x$ and $\cot x$ are reciprocals to each other, hence their product will be 1} = R.S. As left side transforms into right side, hence given identity- $\tan x (\cos x + \cot x)$ = $ \sin x + 1$ is true.
