To prove that \((1 + \sec 2\theta)(1 + \sec 4\theta)(1 + \sec 8\theta) = \frac{\tan 8\theta}{\tan \theta}\), we will start by simplifying the left-hand side (LHS) step by step. ### Step 1: Rewrite Secant in Terms of Cosine We know that \(\sec x = \frac{1}{\cos x}\). Therefore, we can rewrite each secant term in the expression: \[ 1 + \sec 2\theta = 1 + \frac{1}{\cos 2\theta} = \frac{\cos 2\theta + 1}{\cos 2\theta} \] ...
