Tan⁴x - sec⁴x = 1 - 2sec²x

tan²x = sec²x - 1

tan⁴x - sec⁴x = 1 - 2sec²x

(tan²x) ² - sec⁴x = 1 - 2sec²x

(sec²x - 1) ² - sec⁴x = 1 - 2sec²x

(sec²x) ² - 2 * sec²x + 1 - sec⁴x = 1 - 2sec²x

sec⁴x - 2 sec²x + 1 - sec⁴x = 1 - 2sec²x

sec⁴x can be cancelled:

- 2 sec²x + 1 = 1 - 2sec²x

1 - 2sec²x = 1 - 2sec²x
