Let's simplify the given expression step by step:
(csc^(2)x - 1) / (1 + sinx)
First, we know that csc(x) = 1/sinx, so csc^(2)x = (1/sinx)^(2) = 1/sin^(2)x.
Now, we can replace csc^(2)x in the expression:
(1/sin^(2)x - 1) / (1 + sinx)
Next, we need to find a common denominator for the fractions in the numerator:
(1 - sin^(2)x) / sin^(2)x * (1 + sinx)
Now, we can simplify the numerator by using the trigonometric identity sin^(2)x + cos^(2)x = 1:
(cos^(2)x) / sin^(2)x * (1 + sinx)
Now, we can simplify further by using the identity cosx = √(1 - sin^(2)x):
(1 - sin^(2)x) / sin^(2)x * (1 + sinx)
(cos^(2)x) / sin^(2)x * (1 + sinx)
= cosx / sinx * (1 + sinx)
= cosx + cosx sinx / sinx
= cosx + cosx
= 2cosx
Therefore, the simplified expression is 2cosx.
