Does tan^2(x)*sin^2(x) equal to tan^2(x) - sin^2(x).
Because if you take: tan^2(x) + 1 = sec^2(x) then tan^2(x) = sec^2(x) - 1. And if we input that into the original then sec^2(x) * sin^2(x) - sin^2(x) or tan^2(x) - sin^2(x) which seems weird

Can someone walk me through simplifying sec(?)?^2 * cot(?) * cos(?) =
  I thought it'd be  (1 / cos(θ)2) * (1 / tan(θ)) * (cos(θ) / 1)   Which would get you cos(θ) / cos(θ)2 * tan(θ)   And then coming out to 1 / cos(θ) * tan(θ)   but that doesn't make sense... more
