Verify that the equation is an identity. tan²a + 1/(sec α)= sec α To verify the identity, start with the more complicated side and transform it to look like the other side. Choose the correct transformations and transform the expression at each step. tan ²x + 1/(sec a)= /seca Apply a Pythagorean identity. Apply an even-odd identity. Apply a quotient identity.
