Final answer to the problem
Step-by-step Solution
Learn how to solve factor by difference of squares problems step by step online. Prove the trigonometric identity cot(x)^2=(csc(x)-1)(csc(x)+1). Starting from the right-hand side (RHS) of the identity. The sum of two terms multiplied by their difference is equal to the square of the first term minus the square of the second term. In other words: (a+b)(a-b)=a^2-b^2.. Applying the trigonometric identity: \csc\left(\theta \right)^2-1 = \cot\left(\theta \right)^2. Since we have reached the expression of our goal, we have proven the identity.
