Starting with the left hand side,

%28cos%28x%29%2F%281-sin%28x%29%29%29%28%281%2Bsin%28x%29%29%2F%281%2Bsin%28x%29%29%29----required a fair bit of thinking to choose this

%28cos%28x%29%281%2Bsin%28x%29%29%29%2F%281-sin%5E2%28x%29%29

%28cos%28x%29%281%2Bsin%28x%29%29%29%2Fcos%5E2%28x%29

Cancelation of cosine over cosine,

%281%2Bsin%28x%29%29%2Fcos%28x%29

1%2Fcos%28x%29%2Bsin%28x%29%2Fcos%28x%29
