Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a = sec x - tan x

b = cosec x + cot x

Now,

       ab + a - b + 1 = (sec x - tan x)(cosec x + cot x) + sec x - tan x - (cosec x + cot x) + 1

                             = sec x . cosec x + cosec x - sec x - 1 + sec x - tan x - cosec x - cot x + 1

                             = sec x . cosec x - tan x - cot x

                             = sec x . cosec x - (tan x + cot x)

                             = sec x . cosec x - (sin x/cos x + cos x/sin x)

                             = sec x . cosec x - [(sin^2 x + cos^2 x)/sin x . cos x]

                             = sec x . cosec x - [1/sin x . cos x]

                             = sec x . cosec x - sec x . cosec x

                             = 0
