f(x)=sec 2 x-tan 2 x and g(x)=sin 2 x+cos 2 x . Show that they are identical or non identical function.

two functions are identical iff they have exactly same domain and are equal to each other in that domain. but since the domain of f(x)=sec2x-tan2x does not include x=pi/2 while it is a valid point in the domain of  g(x)=sin2x+cos2x, hence these two functions are NON IDENTICAL

Domain of f(x) is R-{n(pi/2)} where n is any integer
Domain of g(x) is R
Since domains are not equal, f(x) and g(x) are not identical.
