How is this trigonometric identify proven?
When researching answers to prove my identity
cos y 1 sin y
I get to the point of
1 + sin y cos y
Then it jumps straight to
sec y + tan y
How do you prove that identity?

Since sec y = 1 / cos y and tan y = sin y / cos y,
1 + sin y cos y = 1 cos y + sin y cos y = sec y + tan y .
