To simplify the expression, we can first combine the fractions:
(1 - sin α)/(cos α) - (cos α)/(1 + sin α)
Next, we can find a common denominator by multiplying the right fraction by (cos α)/(cos α):
[(1 - sin α)/(cos α)] - [(cos α)/(1 + sin α)] x [(cos α)/(cos α)]= (1 - sin α)/(cos α) - (cos^2 α)/(cos α(1 + sin α))
Now, we can simplify further by factoring out a cos α in the second term:
= (1 - sin α)/(cos α) - (cos α)/(1 + sin α)
This is the simplified expression.
