The two formulas for the adjunction transposes give both triangle identities for an adjunction directly. Apply the inverse bijection to the transpose of :Apply the forward bijection to the inverse transpose of :These are equalities of components of natural transformations, soNo cancellation assumption on either functor is needed: both identities follow from the inverse hom-set bijections.
