    Sin^2x (sec^2x + csc^2x) = sec^2x

    I would convert the functions in the parentheses to their reciprocals.

    sin^2x (1/cos^2x + 1/sin^2x) = sec^2x

    Now distribute the sine.

    sin^2x/cos^2x + sin^2x/sin^2x = sec^2x

    Remember that sine divided by cosine is always tangent.

    tan^2x + sin^2x/sin^2x = sec^2x

    The remaining fraction is simply 1.

    tan^2x + 1 = sec^2x

    Use the Pythagorean identity to add the left side.

    sec^2x = sec^2x
