Solving L.H.S. of the equation : cot2 A - 1sin2A\dfrac{1}{\text{sin}^2 A} + 1 = 0

cos2Asin2A1sin2A+1cos2A1+sin2Asin2Asin2A+cos2A1sin2A11sin2A0sin2A0.\Rightarrow \dfrac{\text{cos}^2 A}{\text{sin}^2 A} - \dfrac{1}{\text{sin}^2 A} + 1 \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{\text{cos}^2 A - 1 + \text{sin}^2 A}{\text{sin}^2 A} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{\text{sin}^2 A + \text{cos}^2 A - 1}{\text{sin}^2 A} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{1 - 1}{\text{sin}^2 A} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{0}{\text{sin}^2 A} \\[1em] \Rightarrow 0.

Since, L.H.S. = R.H.S.

Hence, proved that cot2A1sin2A+1=0\text{cot}^2 A - \dfrac{1}{\text{sin}^2 A} + 1 = 0
