(For easier typing, we will let theta = x)
\n" ); document.write( "If we multiply the numerator and denominator by 1 - sin(x), and simplify we get:
\n" ); document.write( "(1 - 2sin(x) + sin^2(x))/cos^2(x) = (1-2sin(x))/cos^2(x) + tan^2(x)
\n" ); document.write( "Simplifying the first term gives
\n" ); document.write( "sec^2(x) - 2sec(x)tan(x) + tan^2(x) = (sec(x) - tan(x))^2
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
