Prove the following identities: `sec^4A-sec^2A=tan^4A+tan^2A`

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

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