Answer 2

the GCF is sec^2 x (tan^2x+1)
sec^2x(sec^2x)
sec^4 x

Answer 3

im sorry can u explain it to me please

Answer 4

okay, first, we are going to take the GCF out and that is sec^2 x.
so the new form is sec^2 x (tan^2x+1)
then , using the concept the trigonometric identities which is tan^2 x +1 is equal to sec^2 x.
then, multiply sec^2 x by sec^2 x which will give you the answer of sec^4 x.
