sec x = 1/cos x so sec x * cos x = 1

Yes, it is. the basic identity is for a double angle relation: cos 2x = 2 cosx cos x -1 since sec x =1/cos x if we multiply both sides by sec x we get cos2xsec x = 2cosxcos x/cos x -1/cos x = 2cos x - sec x
1/cos(x)=sec(x). sec is short for secant.
tan(x) + C d/dx tan(x) = d/dx (sin(x))/(cos(x)) = (sin^2(x)+cos^2(x))/(cos^2(x)) = 1/(cos^2(x)) = sec^2(x) NEVER FORGET THE CONSTANT!
No.
Let 'theta' = A [as 'A' is easier to type] sec A - 1/(sec A) = 1/(cos A) - cos A = (1 - cos^2 A)/(cos A) = (sin^2 A)/(cos A) = (tan A)*(sin A) Then you can swap back the 'A' with theta
