Answer:

see explanation

Explanation:

Using the trigonometric identities

cot A =
(cosA)/(sinA), tanA =
(sinA)/(cosA), cscA =
(1)/(sinA), secA =
(1)/(cosA)

Consider the right side


(cotA-tanA)/(cscAsecA)

=
((cosA)/(sinA)-(sinA)/(cosA) )/((1)/(sinA).(1)/(cosA) )

=
((cos^2A-sin^2A)/(sinAcosA) )/((1)/(sinAcosA) )

=
(cos^2A-sin^2A)/(sinAcosA) × sinAcosA ( cancel sinAcosA )

= cos²A - sin²A

= cos2A

= left side ⇒ verified
