    ..sinθ + tanθ

    -------------------..... note tanθ = sinθ/cosθ

    ..cosθ + 1

    ....sinθ + sinθ/cosθ.......cosθ

    =------------------------- x ----------

    .....cosθ + 1...................cosθ

    ..sinθcosθ + sinθ

    =------------------------

    .....cosθ(cosθ + 1)

    ...sinθ(cosθ + 1)

    =----------------------- cancel out cosθ + 1

    ....cosθ(cosθ + 1)

    = tanθ prove//

    tanθ = sinθ/cosθ so,

    (sinθ + (sinθ/cosθ))/(cosθ + 1)

    => [(sinθcosθ + sinθ)/cosθ]/(cosθ + 1)

    i.e. [sinθ(cosθ + 1)/cosθ]/(cosθ + 1)

    => [sinθ/cosθ](cosθ + 1)/(cosθ + 1)

    so, sinθ/cosθ => tanθ

    To prove that-

    (sinθ + tanθ)/(cosθ + 1) = tanθ

    ...........................sin θ

    LHS =   [ sin θ + ---------  ] divided by ( cos θ + 1 )

    .......................... cos θ

    ...... sin θ * cos θ + sin θ

    => --------------------------------  divided by ( 1 + cos θ )

    ................... cos θ

    .... sin θ ( 1 + cos θ )

    =>--------------------------  divided by ( 1 + cos θ )

    ............ cos θ

    .......sin θ ( 1 + cos θ )...............1.. 

    => --------------------------- x -----------------   

    ............... cos θ ..................( 1 + cos θ ). 

    ............ sin θ

    =>---------------   =  tan θ =  RHS  .................... Proved

    .......... cos θ
