This math topic focuses on examining the correctness of Pythagorean trigonometric identities involving tangent squared (\(\tan^2\)) and secant squared (\(\sec^2\)). The problems require distinguishing whether given identities, such as \(\tan^2(θ) = \sec^2(θ) - 1\) or \(\cos^2(θ) = \sin^2(θ)/\tan^2(θ)\), are accurate. Each problem presents a trigonometric equation and asks if these are valid identities, with answers formatted in a true/false (yes/no) style. The questions cover various angles and employ algebraic manipulations of trigonometric functions to test understanding of fundamental trigonometric identities.
