Prove the following trigonometric identities.
`(1 - sin θ)/(1 + sin θ) = (sec θ - tan θ)^2`
Prove that:
`(1 - sin θ)/(1 + sin θ) = (sec θ - tan θ)^2`

Solution
We have to prove `(1 - sin θ)/(1 + sin θ) = (sec θ - tan θ)^2`
We know that, sin2 θ + cos2 θ = 1
Multiplying both numerator and denominator by (1 − sin θ), we have
`(1 - sin θ)/(1 + sin θ) = ((1 - sin θ)(1 - sin θ))/((1 + sin θ)(1 - sin θ))`
`= (1 - sin θ)^2/(1 - sin^2 θ)`
`= ((1 - sin θ)/cos θ)^2`
`= (1/cos θ - sin θ/cos θ)^2`
`= (sec θ - tan θ)^2`
