    Howdy Shaunie007,

    Let 〖(sec〗⁡〖θ)〗^2=x/(x-1)
    ⇒sec⁡〖θ=√x/√(x-1)〗
    〖⇒cos〗⁡〖θ=√(x-1)/√x 〗 (From triangle)
    〖⇒sin〗⁡〖θ=1/√x (From triangle)
    〖〖⇒(sin〗⁡θ)〗^2=1/x
    ∴f((〖sec⁡θ)〗^2 )=(sin⁡〖θ)〗^2

    Any questions feel free to ask...

    Let (secθ)^2=x/(x-1)
    ⇒secθ=√x/√(x-1)
    ⇒cosθ=√(x-1)/√x (From Triangle)
    ⇒sinθ=1/√x (From Triangle)
    ⇒(sinθ)^2=1/x
    ∴f((secθ)^2 )=(sinθ)^2
    Sorry, this might be a bit clearer...
