Question
Prove the following identities.
sec6 θ = tan6 θ + 3 tan2 θ sec2 θ + 1

Solution
sec6 θ = tan6 θ + 3 tan2 θ sec2 θ + 1
L.H.S = sec6 θ
= (sec2 θ)3 = (1 + tan2 θ)3
= 1 + (tan2 θ)3 + 3 (1) (tan2 θ) (1 + tan2 θ) ......[(a + b)3 = a3 + b3 + 3 ab (a + b)]
= 1 + tan6 θ + 3 tan2 θ (1 + tan2 θ)
= 1 + tan6 θ + 3 tan2 θ (sec2 θ)
= 1 + tan6 θ + 3 tan2 θ sec2 θ
= tan6 θ + 3 tan2 θ sec2 θ + 1
L.H.S = R.H.S
