If `secx+sec^2x=1` then the value of `tan^8x-tan^4x-2tan^2x+1` will be equal to

A

0

B

1

C

2

D

3

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`secx+secc^2x=1`
`secx=1-sec^2x=-tan^2x`
Squaring both side
`sec^2x=tan^4x`
`1+tan^2x=tan^4x`
Squaring both side
`(1+tan^2x)^2=tan^8x`
`1+tan^4x+2tan^2x=tan^8x`
