Final Answer
Step-by-step Solution
Specify the solving method
Applying the trigonometric identity: $\cot\left(\theta \right)^2 = \csc\left(\theta \right)^2-1$
The difference of the squares of two terms, divided by the sum of the same terms, is equal to the difference of the terms. In other words: $\displaystyle\frac{a^2-b^2}{a+b}=a-b$.
