sec 2x =1/(cos2x-sin2x)=1/[(cos x+sin x)(cos x-sin x)]=[A cos x/(cos x +sin x)]+[B sin x/(cos x-sin x)]
Now show that A=B=1! OOOPS! This doesn't do it!
Alternatively, simply add the fractions on the rhs over the common denominator cos2x-sin2x.

asked 12/12/22Prove: Sec(2θ)= cos θ/ cosθ+ sinθ
+ sinθ/cosθ-sinθ
sec 2x =1/(cos2x-sin2x)=1/[(cos x+sin x)(cos x-sin x)]=[A cos x/(cos x +sin x)]+[B sin x/(cos x-sin x)]
