Default 1-cos^2 a + tan^2 a * cos^2 a

Hello,
I can't find functions for 1-cos^2 {\alpha} + tan^2 {\alpha} * cos^2 {\alpha}
I found that 1-cos^2 {\alpha} = sin^2 {\alpha}
But where i can find functions for tan^2 {\alpha} * cos^2 {\alpha}?

Thanks.

sin^{2}(a)+\frac{sin^{2}(x)}{cos^{2}(x)}\cdot cos^{2}(a)=2sin^{2}(a)

\tan^2{\alpha} \cdot \cos^2{\alpha} = \sin^2{\alpha}
