1.sin(θ) = cos(θ) tan(θ)
Start with tan(θ) = sin(θ)/cos(θ), then multiply both sides by cos(θ)

2. 1/cos(θ)=tan(θ)/sin(θ)
Start with tan(θ) = sin(θ)/cos(θ), then divide both sides by sin(θ)

3. cos%5E2%28theta%29+tan%5E2%28theta%29+=+sin%5E2%28theta%29+
Starting with
tan(θ) = sin(θ)/cos(θ)
we get:
+tan%5E2%28theta%29+=+sin%5E2%28theta%29%2Fcos%5E2%28theta%29+
Next just multiply both sides by +cos%5E2%28theta%29+


4. sin(θ)tan(θ) + cos(θ) = 1/cos(θ)
Using
tan(θ) = sin(θ)/cos(θ)
Re-write LHS of given equation (#4) as
= sin(θ)*sin(θ)/cos(θ) + cos(θ)
Put both terms over cos(θ):
= +sin%5E2%28theta%29%2Fcos%28theta%29+%2B+cos%5E2%28theta%29%2Fcos%28theta%29+

= +%28sin%5E2%28theta%29+%2B+cos%5E2%28theta%29%29+%2F+cos%28theta%29+

Noting that +%28sin%5E2%28theta%29+%2B+cos%5E2%28theta%29%29+=+1+:

= +1%2Fcos%28theta%29+


I leave #5 for you to do, there are enough examples here. As a hint: start with the LHS, multiply thru by sin(θ) then factor out tan(θ).
