Starting from the identity $P(A|B)=P(A\cap B)/P(B)$ i have to show that $P(A|B^c) \neq 1-P(A|B)$
I have been working on both sides of equation but can't get nowhere. A previous result is that $P(A^c|B) = 1-P(A|B)$

One counterexample suffices to refute an equation.
Consider the experiment of throwing a fair die once and observing its value. Let $A$ be the event that the roll was even, $B$ be that you throw a $6$.
Then $P(A|B^\complement)=\frac{2}{5}$ while $1-P(A|B)=1-1=0$.
