Solution
RHS = `1 + 2 tan θ/cos θ + 2 tan^2 θ`
= `1 + 2 sin θ/cos^2θ + 2 sin^2 θ/cos^2 θ`
= `(cos^2 θ + 2sin θ + 2 sin^2 θ)/(cos^2θ)`
= `(1 - sin^2θ + 2 sin θ + 2 sin^2θ )/(1 - sin^2θ)`
= `(1 + sin^2θ + 2 sin θ)/(1 - sin^2θ)`
= `(1 + sin θ)^2/( 1 + sin θ)(1 - sin θ)`
= `(1 + sin θ)/(1 - sin θ)`
= LHS
Hence proved.
