Explanation:

We need to prove that ,

cot x / csc x - csc x / cot x = - tan x sec x .

LHS :-

> cot x / csc x - csc x / cot x

> cos x / sin x ÷ csc x - sin x × csc x / cos x

> cosx - 1/ cos x

> cos² x - 1 / cos x

> - sin²x / cosx

> -sin x / cos x × sin x

> -tan x sin x

= RHS

Hence Proved !
