What is the simplified value of (\cos^2 x(1+\tan^2 x))?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: \(1\)

Using the identity \(1+\tan^2 x=\sec^2 x\), the expression becomes \(\cos^2 x\sec^2 x\). Since \(\sec^2 x=1/\cos^2 x\), its value is \(1\). \(\sec^2 x\) is only the value of the bracketed part, not of the complete expression. Exam tip: When you see \(1+\tan^2 x\), replace it with \(\sec^2 x\).
