Prove that : \[\frac{\tan A}{1+\sec A}-\frac{\tan A}{1-\sec A}=2 \operatorname{cosec} A \]
Marking-scheme solution
\[\begin{aligned}
& \text { LHS }=\frac{\tan A(1-\sec A)-\tan A(1+\sec A)}{1-\sec ^{2} A} \\
& =\frac{-2 \tan A \sec A}{-\tan ^{2} A} \\
& =2 \times \frac{\cos A}{\sin A} \times \frac{1}{\cos A} \\
& =2 \operatorname{cosec} A=R H S
\end{aligned}
