  1. Answer:

    Starting from:

    cos2(x)+sin2(x)=1

    Divide both sides by cos2(x) to get:

    cos2(x)cos2(x)+sin2(x)cos2(x)=1cos2(x)

    which simplifies to:

    1+tan2(x)=sec2(x)

  2. Answer:

    Step-by-step explanation:

    [tex]\sf{sec^2 x = 1+ tan^2 x}[/tex]

    For this, we will first simplify RHS to get back LHS.

    Here, we go towards right, the right path:-

    We know that:-

    [tex]\sf{tanx = \dfrac{sinx}{cosx}}[/tex]—-(1)

    And, we also know this one :-

    [tex]\sf{secx = \dfrac{1}{cosx}}[/tex] ——(2)

    Let’s start the mechanism to get the resultant.

    [tex]\sf{1 + \dfrac{sin^2 x}{ cos^2 x }}[/tex]

    [tex]\sf{\dfrac{cos^2 x + sin^2 x}{ cos^2 x }}[/tex]

    We know that [tex]\sf{sin^2 x + cos^2 x = 1}[/tex]

    Applying this identity, we get

    [tex]\sf{\dfrac{1}{ cos^2 x }}[/tex]

    Let’s move towards left side, LHS.

    As said above in (2), so we can now substitute the value of secx to cosx.

    [tex] \implies \sf{\dfrac{1}{ cos^2 x }}[/tex]

    Now, compare LHS and RHS, it is same. So, we can say that [tex]\sf{sec^2 x = 1+ tan^2 x}[/tex]

    Hence Proved!
