Because tanv=sinvcosv, the left-hand side can be written using cosv as the common denominator,

1cosvtanv=1cosvsinvcosv=cosv1sinv.

Now, we observe that if we multiply top and bottom with 1+sinv, the denominator will contain the denominator of the right-hand side as a factor and, in addition, the numerator can be simplified to give 1sin2v=cos2v, using the difference of two squares,

cosv1sinv=cosv1sinv1+sinv1+sinv=1sin2vcosv(1+sinv)=cos2vcosv(1+sinv).

Eliminating cosv then gives the answer,

cos2vcosv(1+sinv)=cosv1+sinv.
