\(\frac{cos^2x-sin^2x}{cot^2x-tan^2x}-cos^2x=\frac{cos^2x-sin^2x}{\frac{cos^2x}{sin^2x}-\frac{sin^2x}{cos^2x}}-cos^2x\)
\(=\frac{cos^2x.sin^2x\left(cos^2x-sin^2x\right)}{cos^4x-sin^4x}-cos^2x=\frac{cos^2x.sin^2x\left(cos^2x-sin^2x\right)}{\left(cos^2x-sin^2x\right)\left(cos^2x+sin^2x\right)}-cos^2x\)
\(=cos^2x.sin^2x-cos^2x=cos^2x\left(sin^2x-1\right)\)
\(=cos^2x.\left(-cos^2x\right)=-cos^4x\)
