Verify the identity. cos x + cos x tan^2x = sec x Choose the sequence of steps below that verifies the identity. A. cos x + cos x tan^2x = cos x(1 + tan^2x) = 1/sec x * sec^2x = sec x B. cos x + cos x tan^2x = cos x(tan^2x - 1) = 1/sec x * sec x^2 = sec x C. cos x + cos x tan^2x = cos x(1 + tan^2x) = 1/sec^2x * sec x = sec x D. cos x + cos x tan^2x = 1 + tan^2x = sec x

Verify the identity. 2 tan(x) / (1 + tan^2(x)) = sin(2x) 2 tan(x) / (1 + tan^2(x)) = 2 tan(x) / sec^2(x) = (2 sin(x) / cos(x)) * ( ) = 2 sin(x) * ( cos x ) = sin(2x)
