Answer

$sin~β~tan~β+cos~β=sec~β$

Work Step by Step

We know that: $tan~β=\frac{sin~β}{cos~β}$ $\frac{1}{cos~β}=sec~β$ $sin^2β+cos^2β=1$ So: $sin~β~tan~β+cos~β=sin~β~\frac{sin~β}{cos~β}+cos~β=\frac{sin^2β}{cos~β}+cos~β=\frac{sin^2β}{cos~β}+\frac{cos~β(cos~β)}{cos~β}=\frac{sin^2β}{cos~β}+\frac{cos^2~β}{cos~β}=\frac{sin^2β+cos^2~β}{cos~β}=\frac{1}{cos~β}=sec~β$
