Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:                                                                                      One of the fundamental identities is #1+cot^2(x) = csc^2(x)#.

Starting with your given:

#cot^2(x)-csc^2(x)#

Replace #csc^2(x)# with #1+cot^2(x)#:

#cot^2(x)-(1+cot^2(x))#

#=cot^2(x)-1-cot^2(x))#

#=-1#
