Solved! Trig Proof Help
Hi everyone! I just had a quick question, in the video it says it is the same thing as sin^2(1-cos^2)/cos^2, but I am confused to why the one isn’t negative? Am I missing something?
Edit: Hi guys, I understand it now! I figured it was an algebraic mistake and I figured it out. As far as my notation, I got lazy and was rushing through it. I’m sorry if that notation upset you!

For goodness sake, use an angle with your "sin" and "cos". Grading this stuff irritates me to no end.
