    Hello:

    secA = 1/cosA

    tanA = sinA / cosA

    - tan²A + 1 + sec²A = - (sinA / cosA) ² + 1 + (1/cosA) ²

    = - sin²A / cos²A + 1 + 1 / cos²A

    = ( - sin²A + cos²A + 1) / cos²A

    = (1 - sin²A + cos²A) / cos²A

    but : 1 - sin²A = cos²A because : sin²A + cos²A = 1

    so : - tan²A + 1 + sec²A = (2 cos²A) / (cos²A)

    - tan²A + 1 + sec²A = 2
