Answer:


sec(x)

Explanation:


cos(x)+cos(x)tan^2(x)

Multiply cos(x) by 1:


cos(x)*1+cos(x)tan^2(x)

Factor out cos(x):


cos(x)(tan^2(x)+1)

Apply the pythagorean identity (
tan^2(x)+1=sec^2(x)):


cos(x)sec^2(x)

Rewrite
sec^2(x):


cos(x)((1)/(cos(x)))^2 \\cos(x)(1)/(cos^2(x))

Cancel cos(x):


(1)/(cos(x))

Rewrite:


sec(x)
