Answer

$\dfrac{1}{1-\sin^{2}x}=1+\tan^{2}x$

Work Step by Step

$\dfrac{1}{1-\sin^{2}x}=1+\tan^{2}x$ Substitute $1-\sin^{2}x$ by $\cos^{2}x$: $\dfrac{1}{\cos^{2}x}=1+\tan^{2}x$ Substitute $\dfrac{1}{\cos^{2}x}$ by $\sec^{2}x$: $\sec^{2}x=1+\tan^{2}x$ Since $\sec^{2}x=1+\tan^{2}x$, the identity is proved. $1+\tan^{2}x=1+\tan^{2}x$
