%28sin%28x%29%29%2F%281%2Bsec%28x%29%29

%28sin%28x%29%29%2F%281%2B1%2Fcos%28x%29%29

Multiply EVERY term by the inner LCD cos%28x%29 to clear out that inner fraction.

%28cos%28x%29%2Asin%28x%29%29%2F%28cos%28x%29%2Bcos%28x%29%2Fcos%28x%29%29



%28cos%28x%29%2Asin%28x%29%29%2F%28cos%28x%29%2B1%29%29
