To prove:

sec A - 1sec A + 1+sec A + 1sec A - 1\sqrt{\dfrac{\text{sec A - 1}}{\text{sec A + 1}}} + \sqrt{\dfrac{\text{sec A + 1}}{\text{sec A - 1}}} = 2 cosec A.

Solving L.H.S. of the above equation :

(sec A - 1)2+(sec A + 1)2(sec A + 1)(sec A - 1)sec A - 1 + sec A + 1sec2A12 sec Atan2A2cos Atan A2cos Asin Acos A2sin A2 cosec A.\Rightarrow \dfrac{(\sqrt{\text{sec A - 1}})^2 + (\sqrt{\text{sec A + 1}})^2}{\sqrt{\text{(sec A + 1)(sec A - 1)}}} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{\text{sec A - 1 + sec A + 1}}{\sqrt{\text{sec}^2 A - 1}} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{\text{2 sec A}}{\sqrt{\text{tan}^2 A}} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{\dfrac{2}{\text{cos A}}}{\text{tan A}} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{\dfrac{2}{\text{cos A}}}{\dfrac{\text{sin A}}{\text{cos A}}} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{2}{\text{sin A}} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \text{2 cosec A}.

Since, L.H.S. = R.H.S.

Hence, proved that sec A - 1sec A + 1+sec A + 1sec A - 1\sqrt{\dfrac{\text{sec A - 1}}{\text{sec A + 1}}} + \sqrt{\dfrac{\text{sec A + 1}}{\text{sec A - 1}}} = 2 cosec A.
