#sin(2h)#

Explanation:

Recall that

#sin(h)=+-sqrt((1-cos(2h))/2)#

#2sin^2(h)=1-cos(2h)#

As well as

#cot(h)=cos(h)/sin(h)#

This turns our function into

#2sin^2(h)*cos(h)/sin(h) rarr 2sin^(cancel(2))(h)*cos(h)/(cancel(sin(h))#

Recall #2sin(h)cos(h)=sin(2h)#

This turns our original equation simply into #sin(2h)#
