This problem requires some trigonometric identities,here,
1) cotx=1/tanx
2)sin2x+cos2x=1 or cos2x=1-sin2x

Explanation:

1) tan t*cot t -sin2t* = tan t 1/tan t-sin2t........(putting identity .1)
= 1-sin2t................(putting identity .2)
= cos2t
....................................................................................................................
I hope this helps :)
