Simplify the following trigonometric expression. cosθtan²θcotθ

This question requires the understanding of trigonometric identities. I'll list the ones that are needed to answer this question:

cotθ = 1 / tanθ

tanθ = sinθ / cosθ

Look at the latter identity. We can rewrite it as such:

tanθ * cosθ = sinθ

We are given the expression:

cosθ * tan²θ * cotθ

Referring to the first trigonometric identity above, substitute cotθ:

cosθ * tan²θ * (1 / tanθ)

Multiply tan²θ and the fraction:

cosθ * (tan²θ / tanθ)

cosθ * tanθ

Refer to the second trigonometric identity:

cosθ * tanθ

sinθ

cosθ * tan²θ * cotθ = sinθ
