Correct Answer: $\tan  A\sin A$


Solution : Given: The trigonometric expression is $\sec A – \cos A$.
We know the trigonometric identity $1–\cos^2 A= \sin^2 A$.
⇒ $\sec A – \cos A$
$=\frac{1}{\cos A}–\cos A$
$=\frac{1–\cos^2 A}{\cos A}$
$=\frac{\sin^2 A}{\cos A}$
$=\frac{\sin A}{\cos A}\times \sin A=\tan A\sin A$
Hence, the correct answer is $\tan A\sin A$.
