First we have that b c = k cos ( x ) ∗ k tan ( x ) = k 2 sin ( x ) = k a .
Next, c k 1 = tan ( x ) 1 = sin ( x ) cos ( x ) .
For the last term, we have 1 + b k a k = 1 + cos ( x ) sin ( x ) = sin ( x ) 1 − cos ( x ) .
Thus c k 1 + 1 + b k a k = sin ( x ) 1 = a k 1 ,
and so b c + c k 1 + 1 + b k a k = k a + a k 1 = k 1 ( a + a 1 ) .
