We can help - we only help after you have shown your work - or ask a specific question (not a statement like "Don't know any of these")

Your problem - as posted does not satisfy the identity.

Please post the correct problem using proper grouping symbols and following hierchy of mathematical operations (PEMDAS).

Then use the following identity to assist you:

Tan²(x) = Sec²(x) - 1

Please share your work with us indicating exactly where you are stuck - so that we may know where to begin to help you.
