The expression is true.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Prove the expression. 1/sec²k = sin²k cos²k + cos^4k

Left Hand Side = 1/sec²k = cos²k

Right Hand Side = sin²k cos²k + cos^4k

= cos²k (sin²k + cos²k) (Taking cos²k as common)

= cos²k (∵sin²k + cos²k = 1)

⇒ Left Hand Side = Right Hand Side

So the expression is true.
