For α(0;90) simplify sin2α+tan2α+sin2αcos2α+cos4α
My try: sin2α+tan2α+sin2αcos2α+cos4α=sin2α+sin2αcos2α+sin2αcos2α+cos4α
=sin2αcos2α+sin2+sin2αcos4α+cos6αcos2α

Express everything in terms of cosα=c
(1c2)+(1c2)c2+(1c2)c2+c4
=c2c4+1c2+c4c6+c6c2=1c2

Instead of dividing by cos2α, you could do the following, sin2α+tan2α+sin2α+sin2αcos2α+cos4α =sin2α+tan2α+sin2α+cos2α(sin2α+cos2α) =sin2α+tan2α+cos2α =1+tan2α =sec2α
