    Answer:

    See Below.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    We want to verify the identity:

    \displaystyle \frac{\sin x}{1 - \cos x} - \cot x = \csc x

    We can multiply the fraction by 1 + cos(x):

    \displaystyle \frac{\sin x(1+\cos x)}{(1 - \cos x)(1+\cos x)} - \cot x = \csc x

    Difference of Two Squares:

    \displaystyle \frac{\sin x(1+\cos x)}{1-\cos^2 x} - \cot x = \csc x

    From the Pythagorean Theorem, we know that sin²(x) + cos²(x) = 1. Rearranging, we acquire that sin²(x) = 1 – cos²(x). Substitute:

    \displaystyle \frac{\sin x(1+\cos x)}{\sin^2 x} - \cot x = \csc x

    Cancel:

    \displaystyle \frac{ 1 + \cos x}{\sin x}-\cot x = \csc x

    Let cot(x) = cos(x) / sin(x):

    \displaystyle \frac{ 1 + \cos x}{\sin x}-\frac{\cos x}{\sin x} = \csc x

    Combine Fractions:

    \displaystyle \frac{ 1 + \cos x - \cos x}{\sin x}= \csc x

    Thus:

    \displaystyle \frac{1}{\sin x}=\csc x = \csc x

    Hence proven.
