    Please learn to use parentheses properly. And also note that you can not cut and paste equations from other applications into this site - it drops some of the characters,( such as plus signs)

    I think what you meant to write is this:

    (sec(x) - tan(x))^2 = (1 -sin(x))/(1+sin(x))

    Start by converting the sec(x) and tan(x) functions into theire sin(x) and cos(x) equivalents. The left hand side becomes



    I'm sure you can take it from here.
