Cot(x) [cot2(x)-cot2(x)] [cot3(x)-cot3(x)] cot(x) = cot2(x)
The second through fifth terms cancel each other out in pairs. The square brackets were added to make this clear.

There are 6 basic trig functions.sin(x) = 1/csc(x)cos(x) = 1/sec(x)tan(x) = sin(x)/cos(x) or 1/cot(x)csc(x) = 1/sin(x)sec(x) = 1/cos(x)cot(x) = cos(x)/sin(x) or 1/tan(x)---- In your problem csc(x)*cot(x) we can simplify csc(x).csc(x) = 1/sin(x)Similarly, cot(x) = cos(x)/sin(x).csc(x)*cot(x) = (1/sin[x])*(cos[x]/sin[x])= cos(x)/sin2(x) = cos(x) * 1/sin2(x)Either of the above answers should work.In general, try converting your trig functions into sine and cosine to make things simpler.
Without an "equals" sign somewhere, no question has been asked,so there's nothing there that needs an answer.Is it the sum that you're looking for ?csc(x) + cot(x) = 1/sin(x) + cos(x)/sin(x) = [1 + cos(x)] / sin(x)
By converting everything to sines and cosines. Since tan x = sin x / cos x, in the cotangent, which is the reciprocal of the tangent: cot x = cos x / sin x. You can replace any other variable (like thetha) for the angle.
cot[x]= -1 cot[x] = cos[x] / sin[x] cos[x] / sin[x] = -1 cos[x] = -sin[x] |cos[x]| = |sin[x]| at every multiple of Pi/4 + Pi/2. However, the signs disagree at 3Pi/4 + nPi, where n is an integer.
There is not much that can be done by way of simplification. Suppose arccot(y) = tan(x) then y = cot[tan(x)] = 1/tan(tan(x)) Now cot is NOT the inverse of tan, but its reciprocal. So the expression in the first of above equation cannot be simplified further. Similarly tan[tan(x)] is NOT tan(x)*tan(x) = tan2(x)
