Recall,

tan# = Sin#/Cos#

1 - Sin^2# = Cos^2#

Looking at step 1 and 2,

1 - Sin# is not equal to Cos#. Thus, (1 - Cos#)/Cos# is not equal to Cos#/Cos#

Thus, there is a mistake between step 1 and step 2

Looking at step 3 and step 4, (Cos# + Sn#)/Cos# is same as Cos#/Cos# + Sin#/Cos#

This would give us

1 + tan#

But what they got in step 4 is 1/Cos#

This is wrong

Thus, there is a mistake between step 3 and step 4
