Looking for a proof regarding ( particular between the 2\(^{nd}\) and 3\(^{rd}\) ): \[sec(2A) = \frac{1+\frac{\sin^{2}A}{\cos^{2}A}}{1-\frac{\sin^{2}A}{\cos^{2}A}} = \frac{\cos^{2}A+\sin^{2}A}{\cos^{2}A-\sin^{2}A}\] Trying to show that sec(2A) indeed the final part shown there (that's the proposition).

To clarify, I got as far as the middle ;-)

Try : Take \[\cos^{2}A\] as LCM in both numerator and the denominator.

o_O LCM = ?

Well, what I like to do about these "irritating" complex fractions is reduce it to just one fraction :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh... Least Common Multiple... Wow I haven't used that term in...

Careful, you might reveal your age... :P

haha
