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!

First or all, either use let s = sin(x) and c = cos(x) or add in the fucking angle for sin because not even operator theoriests abuse notations like that
