$\sec^{4} (x) + \sec^{2} (x)$

Step 1

Factor $\sec^{2} (x)$ out of $\sec^{4} (x)$ .

$\sec^{2} (x) \sec^{2} (x) + \sec^{2} (x)$

Step 2

Multiply by $1$ .

$\sec^{2} (x) \sec^{2} (x) + \sec^{2} (x) \cdot 1$

Step 3

Factor $\sec^{2} (x)$ out of $\sec^{2} (x) \sec^{2} (x) + \sec^{2} (x) \cdot 1$ .

$\sec^{2} (x) (\sec^{2} (x) + 1)$
