Question
![### Proving Trigonometric Identities
**Task:** Prove the identity
\[ \frac{\sec^2 x}{2 \tan x} = \csc 2x \]
**Instructions:**
- Note that each statement must be based on a rule chosen from the Rule menu.
- To see a detailed description of a rule, select the Information button to the right of the rule.
#### Current Statement:
\[ \frac{\sec^2 x}{2 \tan x} \]
To proceed, use the tools provided below the instructions:
1. **Rule Selection Box:** Choose appropriate rules for transforming the trigonometric expressions.
2. **Mathematical Symbols Input Panel:** This panel includes trigonometric functions (cos, sin, tan, cot, sec, csc), operators, fractions, and other symbols like π and square roots. You can use these symbols to input intermediate steps in your proof.
For example:
- Select "sec" from the trigonometric functions to manipulate secant functions.
- Use the fraction symbol for setting up your equations correctly.
Once you derive a step, input it in the provided box and validate each step using the "Validate" button.
**Next Step:** Use the rules and the panel tools to simplify and transform the given trigonometric identity until you prove that:
\[ \frac{\sec^2 x}{2 \tan x} = \csc 2x \]
Keep validating each step until you reach the final identity.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F535bebc9-2960-46ab-b502-76f9901cf6f2%2Fbc2a5d82-a1e5-4188-9b8f-54cc243a4004%2F1xjt7n.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
