Question

Verify the identity: 2 sec^2 x − 2 sec^2 x sin^2 x − sin^2 x − cos^2 x = 1

Answer 1

$\mathrm{Solving}\: \mathrm{prove\:2\sec ^2\left(x\right)-2\sec ^2\left(x\right)\sin ^2\left(x\right)-\sin ^2\left(x\right)-\cos ^2\left(x\right)=1}\\steps \\2\sec ^2\left(x\right)-2\sec ^2\left(x\right)\sin ^2\left(x\right)-\sin ^2\left(x\right)-\cos ^2\left(x\right)=1\\\mathrm{Manipulating\:left\:side}\\2\sec ^2\left(x\right)-2\sec ^2\left(x\right)\sin ^2\left(x\right)-\sin ^2\left(x\right)-\cos ^2\left(x\right)\\=-1+2\cos ^2\left(x\right)\sec ^2\left(x\right)\\=1$Answer:
