2.   (tan2x) / (1 + sec x)   =   sec x + 1      Let's test whether this is true when  x = 0 .

 

(tan2x) / (1 + 1/cosx)   =   1/cosx + 1

 

(tan20) / (1 + 1/cos0)   =   1/cos0 + 1

 

(02) / (1 + 1/1)   =   1/1 + 1

 

0  =  2       This is false, so this equation is not true for all values of  x  and so it is not an indentity.

 

If you want to find the solutions to the equation, we can try to find them.

 

(tan2x) / (1 + sec x)   =   sec x + 1       Multiply both sides by  (1 + sec x)

 

tan2x   =   (sec x + 1)(1 + sec x)

 

tan2x  =  sec x + sec2x + 1 + sec x

 

tan2x  =  sec2x + 2sec x + 1                Rewrite  tan  and  sec  in terms of  sin  and  cos.

 

sin2x / cos2x  =  1/cos2x + 2/cos x  +  1        Multiply through by  cos2x

 

sin2x  =  1 + 2cos x + cos2x                 Subtract  sin2x  from both sides.

 

0  =  1 + 2cos x + cos2x - sin2x           Substitute  1 - cos2x  in for  sin2x

 

0  =  1 + 2cos x + cos2x - (1 - cos2x)

 

0  =  1 + 2cos x + cos2x - 1 + cos2x

 

0  =  2cos x + 2cos2x         Divide through by  2 .

 

0  =  cos x + cos2x             Factor  cos x  out of both terms.

 

0  =  cos x(1 + cos x)         Set each factor equal to zero.

 

cos x  =  0      or      1 + cos x  =  0

 

However, neither of these can be true.

 

If cos x  =  0  then  sec x  is undefined and the original equation is undefined.

 

If  cos x  =  -1  then  1 + sec x  =  1 - 1  =  0  and the original equation is undefined.

 

So this equation has no solutions.
