let s=sin(x), c=cos(x)

s^2/c^2+s*csc(x)

=s^2/c^2+s/s (csc(x) = 1/sin(x), by definition of csc(x) )

=s^2/c^2+1

=s^2/c^2 + c^2/c^2

=(s^2+c^2)/c^2 (s^2+c^2=1, an identity)

=1/c^2

= sec^2(x) (by definition of sec(x) = 1/cos(x) )

to the risk of sounding redundant.


[tex] \bf \stackrel{\textit{Pythagorean Identities}}{sin^2(\theta)+cos^2(\theta)=1}\quad \qquad csc(\theta )=\cfrac{1}{sin(\theta )}\qquad \qquad sec(\theta )=\cfrac{1}{cos(\theta )}

-------------------------------\\\\
\cfrac{sin^2(x)}{cos^2(x)}+sin(x)csc(x)=sec^2(x)\\\\
------------------------------- [/tex]


[tex] \bf \cfrac{sin^2(x)}{cos^2(x)}+\underline{sin(x)}\cdot \cfrac{1}{\underline{sin(x)}}\implies \cfrac{sin^2(x)}{cos^2(x)}+1\implies \cfrac{sin^2(x)+cos^2(x)}{cos^2(x)}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{1}{cos^2(x)}\implies sec^2(x) [/tex]
