$\sec\left(x\right)^4-\sec\left(x\right)^2$
Learn how to solve problems step by step online. Prove the trigonometric identity sec(x)^4-sec(x)^2=tan(x)^2+tan(x)^4. Starting from the left-hand side (LHS) of the identity. Factor the polynomial \sec\left(x\right)^4-\sec\left(x\right)^2 by it's greatest common factor (GCF): \sec\left(x\right)^2. Apply the trigonometric identity: \sec\left(\theta \right)^2-1=\tan\left(\theta \right)^2. Applying the trigonometric identity: \sec\left(\theta \right)^2 = 1+\tan\left(\theta \right)^2.
