Problem 11 - Entrance Test

Simplify the expression (1 + tan²A) cos²A.

Correct: C

We use the identity 1 + tan²A = sec²A. Substitute this into the expression: (sec²A) cos²A. We also know that sec A is the reciprocal of cos A, i.e., sec A = 1/cos A, so sec²A = 1/cos²A. Therefore, (1/cos²A) × cos²A = 1.
