Correct Answer: $\frac{1+\sin \theta}{\cos \theta}$
Solution :
Given: The given trigonometric expression is $[\frac{\tan \theta+\sec \theta–1}{\tan \theta–\sec \theta+1}]$.
Use the trigonometric identity, $\sec^2\theta–\tan^2\theta=1$
⇒ $[\frac{\tan \theta+\sec \theta–(\sec^2\theta–\tan^2\theta)}{\tan \theta–\sec \theta+1}]=[\frac{(\tan \theta+\sec \theta)(1–\sec\theta+\tan \theta)}{\tan \theta–\sec \theta+1}$
$=\tan \theta+\sec \theta=\frac{1+\sin \theta}{\cos \theta}$
Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{1+\sin \theta}{\cos \theta}$.
