RHS $=\left(\mathrm{sin}\left(t\right)+\mathrm{cos}\left(t\right)\right)\cdot \left(\mathrm{tan}\left(t\right)+\mathrm{cot}\left(t\right)\right)=\left(\mathrm{sin}\left(t\right)+\mathrm{cos}\left(t\right)\right)\cdot \left(\frac{\mathrm{sin}\left(t\right)}{\mathrm{cos}\left(t\right)}+\frac{\mathrm{cos}\left(t\right)}{\mathrm{sin}\left(t\right)}\right)=\left(\mathrm{sin}\left(t\right)+\mathrm{cos}\left(t\right)\right)\cdot \frac{{\mathrm{sin}}^{2}\left(t\right)+{\mathrm{cos}}^{2}\left(t\right)}{\left(\mathrm{sin}\left(t\right).\mathrm{cos}\left(t\right)\right)}$
RHS $=\left(\mathrm{sin}\left(t\right)+\mathrm{cos}\left(t\right)\right)\cdot \frac{1}{\left(\mathrm{sin}\left(t\right).\mathrm{cos}\left(t\right)\right)=\left(\frac{1}{\mathrm{cos}\left(t\right)}+\frac{1}{\mathrm{sin}\left(t\right)}\right)=\mathrm{sec}\left(t\right)+\mathrm{csc}\left(t\right)=}$ LHS
RHS = LHS
