Please show step by step, thank you

**Problem Statement:** Factor the expression. Use the fundamental identities to simplify, if necessary. (There is more than one correct form of each answer.) \[ 3 \sec^3(x) - 3 \sec^2(x) - 3 \sec(x) + 3 \] **Your Answer:** \[ 3 \tan^2(x) (\sec(x) - 1) \] **Feedback:** Your answer cannot be understood or graded. For more information, visit: [More Information] (link) --- **Explanation of Feedback:** The given problem requires factoring using fundamental trigonometric identities. In this case, the provided answer does not match the expected format or contains a possible simplification error. Therefore, the answer provided was flagged as incorrect and could not be graded. To solve such problems, ensure all identities are applied correctly and verify each step for simplification. You might want to break down the expression further or consider alternative trigonometric identities for accurate factoring.
