$\frac{\sin\left(x\right)^2}{\cos\left(x\right)^2}$
Learn how to solve simplification of algebraic expressions problems step by step online. Simplify the expression (1-cos(x)^2)/(cos(x)^2). Applying the trigonometric identity: 1-\cos\left(\theta \right)^2 = \sin\left(\theta \right)^2. Apply the property of the quotient of two powers with the same exponent, inversely: \frac{a^m}{b^m}=\left(\frac{a}{b}\right)^m, where m equals 2. Apply the trigonometric identity: \frac{\sin\left(\theta \right)}{\cos\left(\theta \right)}=\tan\left(\theta \right).
