1. Express the left-hand side (LHS) in terms of sine and cosine.
LHS=csc2x+cot2x
=sin2x1+sin2xcos2x
2. Combine the terms into a single fraction.
=sin2x1+cos2x
3. Apply double angle formulae to express the numerator and denominator in terms of single angles.
Using cos2x=2cos2x−1 and sin2x=2sinxcosx:
=2sinxcosx1+(2cos2x−1)
4. Simplify the expression to obtain the right-hand side (RHS).
=2sinxcosx2cos2x
=sinxcosx
=cotx
=RHS (shown)
