    tan²x + sec²x = 1

    tan = sin / cos

    sec = 1/cos

    sin^2 x/cos^2 x + 1 / cos ^2 x = 1

    since it has a common denominator

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

    multiply by cos ^2 x on each side

    sin ^2 x + 1 = cos ^2 x

    replace 1 = sin^2 + cos ^2

    sin ^2 x + sin ^2 x + cos^2 x = cos ^2 x

    combine like terms

    2 sin ^2 x + cos ^2 = cos ^ 2 x

    subtract cos ^2 x from each side

    2 sin^2 x = 0

    divide by 2 on each side

    sin^2 x = 0

    take the square root on each side

    sin x = 0

    take the arcsin on each side

    arcsin (sin x) = arcsin (0)

    x = 0, pi, 2 * ip

    x = n * pi where n is an integer
