To prove the identity \(\frac{\tan^3 \theta - 1}{\tan \theta - 1} = \sec^2 \theta + \tan \theta\), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Factor the left-hand side We start with the expression \(\tan^3 \theta - 1\). We can use the identity for the difference of cubes: \[ A^3 - B^3 = (A - B)(A^2 + AB + B^2) \] Here, let \(A = \tan \theta\) and \(B = 1\). Thus, we have: ...
