1 + tan^(4)(x) = Sec^(4)(x) - 2Tan^(2)(x)

1 + tan^4(x) = 1 + tan^4(x) + 2 tan²(x) - 2 tan²(x)
= 1 + 2 tan²(x) + tan^4(x) - 2 tan²(x)
= (1 + tan²(x))² - 2 tan²(x)
= (sec²(x))² - 2 tan²(x)
= sec^4(x) - 2 tan²(x)
= 1 + 2 tan²(x) + tan^4(x) - 2 tan²(x)
= (1 + tan²(x))² - 2 tan²(x)
= (sec²(x))² - 2 tan²(x)
= sec^4(x) - 2 tan²(x)
