Your equation is incorrect:

$<br /> csc x \ne cot x + \frac {tan x}{sec x}<br />$

However, if you meant this:

$<br /> csc x = \frac {cot x + tan x}{sec x}<br />$

all you need do is convert the tan, cot, sec, csc functions to their sine and cosine equivalents and simplify the resulting fraction. And remember rhat cos^2x + sin^x = 1.
