Given the identity:


(\csc ^2x-1)\sin x=\cos ^2x\csc x

We will prove the identity as follows

Starting from the left-hand side

First, use the rule of reciprocal


(\csc ^2x-1)\sin x=((1)/(\sin^2x)-1)\sin x

Second, use the rule of quotient


=((1-\sin^2x)/(\sin^2x))\sin x

Third, use the Pythagorean theorem


=(\cos^2x)/(\sin^2x)\cdot\sin x

Fourth, Multiply using the rule algebra


=(cos^2x)/(\sin x)

Finally, use the rule of reciprocal


=\cos ^2x\csc x

Which will be matched with the right-hand side.
