Check simplification of trig

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

\[\frac{ \cos^2x }{ \cot^2x }\]

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

I put cot^2x as cos^2/sin^2

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

multiplied it out as (cos^2x)(sin^2x)/cos^2x) ends up being just sin^2x?

\(\large \color{black}{\begin{align} \dfrac{ \cos^2x }{ \cot^2x }=\sin^2x\hspace{.33em}\\~\\ \end{align}}\)

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

So I was right

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

yes
