Question #0733f Trigonometry Trigonometric Identities and Equations Proving Identities 1 Answer Narad T. Oct 17, 2016 See proof below Explanation: Use the following cos2x+sin2=1 So 1−cos2x=sin2x and cotx=cosxsinx So (1−cos2x)cotx=sin2x⋅cosxsinx=sinxcosx Answer link Related questions What does it mean to prove a trigonometric identity?
