Prove the following identities:

sec4┬аx тАУ sec2┬аx= tan4┬аx + tan2┬аx



Answer -

Let us consider LHS: sec4┬аxтАУ sec2┬аx

(sec2┬аx)2┬атАУsec2┬аx

By using the formula, sec2┬а╬╕ = 1 + tan2┬а╬╕.

(1 + tan2┬аx)┬а2┬атАУ(1 + tan2┬аx)

1 + 2tan2┬аx + tan4┬аxтАУ 1 тАУ tan2┬аx

tan4┬аx + tan2┬аx

= RHS

тИ┤LHS = RHS

Hence proved.
