sin2x+sin2xtan2x=tan2x

Explanation:

Simplify: sin2x+sin2xtan2x

First, factor out sin2x from the expression:

sin2x(1+tan2x)

Now we can use this trig identity

1+tan2x=sec2x

Now we have

sin2xsec2x

We know that

secx=1cosx

So it is then true that

sec2x=1cos2x

Now we have

sin2xcos2x

We know that

tanx=sinxcosx

So it is then true that

tan2x=sin2xcos2x

So for the final answer we have is

tan2x
