Write the expression in terms of sines and cosines to simplify so the answer is not a quotient. Select the expression that completes the identity - cos^2 x(1 - sec^2 x) = sec^2 x 1 -sec^2 x cot^2 x - sin^2 x sin^2 x
Solution
-cos^2x( 1-sec^2x)
= - cos^2x + cos^2x*sec^2x
= - cos^2x +1
= 1- cos^2x
= sin^2x (Answer)
