can someone explain to me how to solve (cosx/1-sinx) - (cosx/1+sinx)? The answer is supposed to be 2tanx.

    1. Use the difference of squares for both parts in the parenthesis.
    2. Now, as the bottom are the same, combine the two parts.
    3. Use your trig identity function on the bottom.
    4. Tell me if you still don't get it.
