You have not provided an equation.

Equations have an "=" sign.

You must have left something out.

Perhaps they just want you to write the term tan^2x-sec^2x in terms of sines and cosines. If so, they should have said so.

from the main Pythagorean Identity we know

tan^2 x + 1 = sec^2 x

so tan^2x-sec^2x = tan^2 x - (tan^2 x + 1)
= -1
