[tex]\bf sec(\theta)=\cfrac{1}{cos(\theta)}
\\\\\\
sin^2(\theta)+cos^2(\theta)=1\implies cos^2(\theta)=1-sin^2(\theta)\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
sec^2(x)[1-sin^2(x)]=1\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\textit{checking the left-hand-side}\\\\
\cfrac{1^2}{cos^2(x)}[cos^2(x)]\implies 1[/tex]
