a: tan x(cot^2x-1)
\(=\dfrac{1}{cotx}\left(cot^2x-cotx\cdot tanx\right)\)
=cotx-tanx/cotx=cotx(1-tan^2x)
b: \(tan^2x-sin^2x=\dfrac{sin^2x}{cos^2x}-sin^2x\)
\(=sin^2x\left(\dfrac{1}{cos^2x}-1\right)=sin^2x\cdot\dfrac{sin^2x}{cos^2x}=sin^2x\cdot tan^2x\)
c: \(\dfrac{cos^2x-sin^2x}{cot^2x-tan^2x}=\dfrac{cos^2x-sin^2x}{\dfrac{cos^2x}{sin^2x}-\dfrac{sin^2x}{cos^2x}}\)
\(=\left(cos^2x-sin^2x\right):\dfrac{cos^4x-sin^4x}{sin^2x\cdot cos^2x}\)
\(=\dfrac{sin^2x\cdot cos^2x}{1}=sin^2x\cdot cos^2x\)
=>sin^2x*cos^2x-cos^2x=cos^2x(sin^2x-1)
=-cos^2x*cos^2x=-cos^4x
