Please see below.

Explanation:

We know that,

color(red)((1)1+tan^2theta=sec^2theta

color(blue)((2)1-sin^2theta=cos^2theta

color(violet)((3)costheta=1/sectheta

Here,

sqrt(1+tan^2x)/sqrt(1-sin^2x)=sec^2x

Let,

LHS=sqrt(1+tan^2x)/sqrt(1-sin^2x)

Using (1) and (2) we get

LHS=sqrt(color(red)(sec^2x))/sqrt(color(blue)(cos^2x))

color(white)(LHS)=secx/color(violet)(cosx

color(white)(LHS)=secx/color(violet)((1/secx)

color(white)(LHS)=secx*secx

color(white)(LHS)=sec^2x

:.LHS=RHS

If your question is different than above answer,

then type your question again.

"see explanation"

Explanation:

"using the "color(blue)"trigonometric identities"

•color(white)(x)1+tan^2x=sec^2x

rArrsqrt(1+tan^2x)=secx

•color(white)(x)sin^2x+cos^2x=1

rArrsqrt(1-sin^2x)=cosx

"consider the left side"

rArrsqrt(1+tan^2x)/sqrt(1-sin^2x)

=secx/cosx

=1/cosx xx1/cosx

=1/cos^2x=sec^2x=" right side "rArr"verified"
