Question

( tan x + 1 )^2

Answer 1

what is the question?

Answer 2

(tan x+1)squared

Answer 3

I believe he's asking, what are you trying to do with it? Solve for x?

Answer 4

use the fundamental indenties to simplfy the identity

Answer 5

okay, let's break it down , and we'll get :

(tanx + 1 ) (tanx + 1) use the FOIL method and you'll get:
\[= \tan^x + 2tanx + 1\]
\[= \sec^2x -1 + 2tanx +1\]
\[= \sec^2x + 2 tanx\]

Correct me if I'm wrong ^_^

Answer 6

sorry it's (tan^2x) instead of tan^ x ^^" typo, sorry for the mess
