Answer

Solving L.H.S. of the equation :

tan2Asin2Asin2Acos2Asin2Asin2A×(1cos2A1)sin2A×(1cos2Acos2A)\Rightarrow \text{tan}^2 A - \text{sin}^2 A \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{\text{sin}^2 A}{\text{cos}^2 A} - \text{sin}^2 A \\[1em] \Rightarrow \text{sin}^2 A \times \Big(\dfrac{1}{\text{cos}^2 A} - 1\Big) \\[1em] \Rightarrow \text{sin}^2 A \times \Big(\dfrac{1 - \text{cos}^2 A}{\text{cos}^2 A}\Big)

By formula,

1 - cos2A = sin2 A.

sin2A×sin2Acos2Asin2A.tan2A\Rightarrow \text{sin}^2 A \times \dfrac{\text{sin}^2 A}{\text{cos}^2 A} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \text{sin}^2 A. \text{tan}^2 A

Since, L.H.S. = R.H.S.

Hence, proved that tan2 A - sin2 A = tan2 A. sin2 A.
