1. Express the left-hand side in terms of sine and cosine
LHS=sec2θ−1tan2θ=cos2θ1−1cos2θsin2θ
2. Simplify the complex fraction
LHS=cos2θ1−cos2θcos2θsin2θ=1−cos2θsin2θ
3. Apply double angle formulae for sine and cosine
LHS=1−(1−2sin2θ)2sinθcosθ
4. Simplify to reach the right-hand side
LHS=2sin2θ2sinθcosθ=sinθcosθ=cotθ=RHS
