Answer

The required value of the ${{\tan }^{2}}y$ is $\frac{1-\cos \,2y}{1+\cos \,2y}$.

Work Step by Step

In order to find the value of ${{\tan }^{2}}y$, the power reducing formula is used that is as given below: $\begin{align} & {{\tan }^{2}}y=\frac{{{\sin }^{2}}y}{{{\cos }^{2}}y} \\ & =\frac{\frac{1-\cos 2y}{2}}{\frac{1+\cos 2y}{2}} \\ & =\frac{1-\cos 2y}{{}}\times \frac{{}}{1+\cos 2y} \\ & =\frac{1-\cos 2y}{1+\cos 2y} \end{align}$
