$\frac{1 - \sin^{2} (t)}{\cot^{2} (t)}$

Step 1

Apply pythagorean identity.

$\frac{\cos^{2} (t)}{\cot^{2} (t)}$

Step 2

Rewrite $\frac{\cos^{2} (t)}{\cot^{2} (t)}$ as ${(\frac{\cos (t)}{\cot (t)})}^{2}$ .

${(\frac{\cos (t)}{\cot (t)})}^{2}$

Step 3

Rewrite $\cot (t)$ in terms of sines and cosines.

${(\frac{\cos (t)}{\frac{\cos (t)}{\sin (t)}})}^{2}$

Step 4

Multiply by the reciprocal of the fraction to divide by $\frac{\cos (t)}{\sin (t)}$ .

${(\cos (t) \frac{\sin (t)}{\cos (t)})}^{2}$

Step 5

Write $\cos (t)$ as a fraction with denominator $1$ .

${(\frac{\cos (t)}{1} \cdot \frac{\sin (t)}{\cos (t)})}^{2}$
