QuestionSimplify each expression. (tan(t)sec(t))(tan(t)+sec(t))=(sec(t)1)(sec(t)+1)=(1sin(t))(1+sin(t))=\begin{array}{l} (\tan (t)-\sec (t))(\tan (t)+\sec (t))= \\ (\sec (t)-1)(\sec (t)+1)=\square \\ (1-\sin (t))(1+\sin (t))=\square \end{array}

Studdy Solution
Apply the difference of squares identity to the expression (1sin(t))(1+sin(t))(1 - \sin(t))(1 + \sin(t)):
12(sin(t))2 1^2 - (\sin(t))^2
Recall the Pythagorean identity: 1sin2(t)=cos2(t)1 - \sin^2(t) = \cos^2(t).
Thus, the simplified expression is:
cos2(t) \boxed{\cos^2(t)}
