Explanation:

We can simplify the expression using trigonometric identities:

cot(x) - csc^2(x) / cot(x)

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

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

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

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

= -sin(x)

Therefore, cot(x) - csc^2(x) / cot(x) simplifies to

-sin(x).
