Prove that: (sec8θ − 1) / (sec4θ − 1) = tan8θ / tan2θ
(sec8θ − 1) / (sec4θ − 1) = ((1 − cos8θ) cos4θ) / (cos8θ (1 − cos4θ))
= (2sin24θ × cos4θ) / (cos 8θ × 2 sin22θ)
= (sin4θ (2 sin4θ × cos4θ)) / (2cos8θ × sin22θ)
= (sin4θ × sin8θ) / (2cos8θ × sin22θ)
= (2sin2θ × cos2θ × sin8θ) / (cos8θ × 2sin22θ)
= tan8θ / tan2θ
