    Trigonometry help required

    Instead of multiplying the top and bottom of the 2nd term by cos^2 A, you can instead DIVIDE the top and bottom of the FIRST term by cos^2 A. After replacing the resulting sec^2 A by (1+tan^2 A), you get another perfect square in the numerator which cancels as before. This avoids magically...

    sec2A+tan2A=\frac{1}{cos2A}+tan2A =\frac{1}{cos^2 A-sin^2 A} +\frac{2tanA}{1-tan^2 A}\times \frac{cos^2 A}{cos^2 A} =\frac{cos^2 A + sin^2 A}{cos^2 A-sin^2 A} +\frac{2sin A cosA}{cos^2 A-sin^2 A} =\frac{(cosA+sinA)^2}{(cosA+sinA)(cosA-sinA)} =\frac{cosA+sinA}{cosA-sinA}
