SOLUTION: verify the identity by showing that the left equals right sec^2x/1-tan^2=sec2x do I use 1/cos^2x/1-tan^2x or do I use 1+tan^2x/1-tan^2x? either way I do not know where to go fro

Question 816078: verify the identity by showing that the left equals right sec^2x/1-tan^2=sec2x
do I use 1/cos^2x/1-tan^2x or do I use 1+tan^2x/1-tan^2x? either way I do not know where to go from either one of those this is really confusing to me and I just cannot get it.
