Question 699733: establish each identity

A) sec^4 theta - sec^2 theta = tan^4 theta + tan^2 theta

B)csc theta - cot theta = sin theta over 1 + cos theta

C) 1- sin^2 theta over 1- cos theta = -cos thea

Use equivalent sine and cosine expressions:



Apply LCD to both sides:



Factor out from the numerator in the RHS.



Apply the Pythagorean Identity



Apply the Pythagorean Identity again



Therefore:
