Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To prove the identity \( \sec^4 \theta - \sec^2 \theta = \tan^4 \theta + \tan^2 \theta \), we will start from the left-hand side (LHS) and manipulate it to show that it equals the right-hand side (RHS). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Start with the left-hand side (LHS):** \[ \sec^4 \theta - \sec^2 \theta \] ...
