Verify the identity.

OpenStudy (erinweeks):

\[1 + \sec ^{2}xsin ^{2}x = \sec ^{2}x\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ 1 }{ \cos^2x }=\sec^2x\]

OpenStudy (erinweeks):

is there a shorter way of explaning it.

OpenStudy (loser66):

\[se^2 =\frac{1}{cos^2}\\therefore1+\frac{sin^2}{cos^2}=1+tan^2=sec^2\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

using \[\sin^2x+\cos^2=1\] from second step: \[\frac{ \sin^2x }{\cos^2x }+\frac{ \cos^2x }{\cos^2x }=\frac{ 1 }{ \cos^2x }\] \[\tan^2x+1=\sec^2x\]
