Answer

$tan^2~x-sin^2~x = (tan~x~sin~x)^2$

Work Step by Step

$tan^2~x-sin^2~x = \frac{sin^2~x}{cos^2~x}-sin^2~x$ $tan^2~x-sin^2~x = \frac{sin^2~x}{cos^2~x}-\frac{sin^2~x~cos^2~x}{cos^2~x}$ $tan^2~x-sin^2~x = \frac{sin^2~x-sin^2~x~cos^2~x}{cos^2~x}$ $tan^2~x-sin^2~x = (sin^2~x)~(\frac{1-cos^2~x}{cos^2~x})$ $tan^2~x-sin^2~x = (sin^2~x)~(\frac{sin^2~x}{cos^2~x})$ $tan^2~x-sin^2~x = (sin^2~x)~(tan^2~x)$ $tan^2~x-sin^2~x = (tan~x~sin~x)^2$
