Use the Pythagorean identity sin^2t+cos^2t=1 to show that cot^2t=csc^2t-1
\n" ); document.write( "***
\n" ); document.write( "cot^2t=csc^2t-1
\n" ); document.write( "Start with right hand side:
\n" ); document.write( "\"csc%5E2%28t%29-1\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"1%2Fsin%5E2%28t%29-1\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28sin%5E2%28t%29%2Bcos%5E2%28t%29%29%2Fsin%5E2%28t%29-1\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"1%2Bcot%5E2%28t%29-1\"
\n" ); document.write( "=cot^2(t)
\n" ); document.write( "Verified:
\n" ); document.write( "Right-hand side=left-hand side
