%28tan%28x%29%2Bcot%28x%29%29%2Fsec%5E2%28x%29
use identities:

sec%5E2%28x%29=1%2Fcos%5E2%28x%29
tan%28x%29=sin%28x%29%2Fcos%28x%29
cot%28x%29=cos%28x%29%2Fsin%28x%29


%28sin%28x%29%2Fcos%28x%29%2Bcos%28x%29%2Fsin%28x%29%29%2F%281%2Fcos%5E2%28x%29%29

(tan(x)+cot(x))/sec^2(X)
simplify
%28tan+%28x%29+%2B+cot+%28x%29%29%2Fsec%5E2%28x%29

sin+%28x%29%2Fcos+%28x%29+%2B+cos+%28x%29%2Fsin+%28x%29 ÷ sec%5E2%28x%29

%28sin%5E2+%28x%29+%2B+cos%5E2+%28x%29%29%2Fcos+%28x%29+sin+%28x%29 ÷ 1%2Fcos%5E2%28x%29
