Verify the equation: (tan x - 1)/(tan x + 1) = (1 - cot x)/(1 + cot x)

True.

Step-by-step explanation:

given equation: (tan x - 1)/(tan x + 1) = (1 - cot x)/(1 + cot x)

1. manipulate the right side by using trigonometric identities

(tan(x) - 1)/(tan(x) + 1) = (-cos(x) + sin(x))/(cos(x) + sin(x))

2. manipulate the right side by using trigonometric identities

(-cos(x) + sin(x))/(cos(x) + sin(x)) = (-cos(x) + sin(x))/(cos(x) + sin(x))

Both sides of the equation are now equal -> (tan x - 1)/(tan x + 1) = (1 - cot x)/(1 + cot x) is true.
