Is this a proper way to approach this Trig Identity Exp. ? Please help and thank you. sin(x)tan(x)/cos(x) =sin(x)*(sin(x)/cos(x))/cos(x) =sin^2(x)

Nope

I think it'd be like: sin(x)tan(x)/cos(x) = sin(x)(sin(x)/cos(x))/cos(x) so then you'd multiply top and bottom by cos(x) and then you get: sin^2(x) / cos^2(x) which is essentially (sin(x) / cos(x)) ^ 2, or tan^2(x)
