Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{ \cos( \alpha ) }{1 -   \sin( \alpha ) }  =  \sec( \alpha )  +  \tan( \alpha )

\frac{ \cos( \alpha ) (1 +  \sin( \alpha ) }{(1 -  \sin( \alpha ) )(1 +  \sin( \alpha ) }

\frac{ \cos( \alpha )  +  \cos( \alpha )  \sin( \alpha ) }{  \cos {}^{2} ( \alpha ) }

\frac{ \cos( \alpha ) }{  \cos {}^{2} ( \alpha ) }  +  \frac{ \cos( \alpha ) \sin( \alpha )  }{  \cos {}^{2} ( \alpha ) }

\sec( \alpha )  +  \tan( \alpha )

Answer:

See below for proof using trigonometric identities.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression:

\dfrac{\cos \alpha}{1-\sin \alpha}

Multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator:

\implies \dfrac{\cos \alpha(1+\sin \alpha)}{(1-\sin \alpha)(1+\sin \alpha)}

Expand the brackets:

\implies \dfrac{\cos \alpha+\cos \alpha\sin \alpha}{1-\sin^2 \alpha}

Apply the trigonometric identity  sin²θ + cos²θ ≡ 1  to the denominator:

\implies \dfrac{\cos \alpha+\cos \alpha\sin \alpha}{\cos^2 \alpha}

\textsf{Apply the addition fraction rule} \quad \dfrac{a+b}{c}=\dfrac{a}{c}+\dfrac{b}{c}:

\implies \dfrac{\cos \alpha}{\cos^2 \alpha}+\dfrac{\cos \alpha\sin \alpha}{\cos^2 \alpha}

Cancel the common factor:

\implies \dfrac{1}{\cos\alpha}+\dfrac{\sin \alpha}{\cos \alpha}

\textsf{Apply the trigonometric identities} \quad \dfrac{1}{\cos \theta} \equiv \sec \theta \:\:\textsf{ and }\:\: \dfrac{\sin \theta}{\cos \theta} \equiv \tan \theta :

\implies \sec \alpha + \tan \alpha
