***
use x for beta
sec%28x%29-cos%28x%29=sin%28x%29%2Atan%28x%29
start with left side:
sec%28x%29-cos%28x%29
1%2Fcos%28x%29-cos%28x%29
%281-cos%5E2%28x%29%29%2Fcos%28x%29
%28sin%5E2%28x%29%29%2Fcos%28x%29
sin%28x%29%2A%28sin%28x%29%2Fcos%28x%29%29=sin%28x%29%2Atan%28x%29
verified: left side=right side
