Answer:

see explanation

Explanation:

Using the trigonometric identities

• tan x =
(sinx)/(cosx)

• sec x =
(1)/(cosx), csc x =
(1)/(sinx)

Consider the left side with x = Θ


(sec^2x)/(tanx)

=
(1/cos^2x)/((sinx)/(cosx) )

=
(1)/(cos^2x) ×
(cosx)/(sinx)

=
(1)/(cosxsinx)

=
(1)/(cosx) ×
(1)/(sinx)

= secxcscx = right side ⇒ verified
