Find the value of cot² B-cosec² B for 0 <B<90°.
Question

Find the value of cot² B-cosec² B for 0 <B<90°.

A.

1

B.

2

C.

-1

D.

-2

Correct option is C

Given: 
To find: cot2Bcosec2B\cot^2B-\cosec^2B 
Formula Used: 
cotB=cosBsinB,   cosecB=1sinB sin2B+cos2B=1\cot B = \frac{\cos B}{\sin B} , \ \ \ \cosec B = \frac{1}{\sin B} \\ \ \\ \sin^2 B + \cos^2 B = 1 
Solution: 
Solving the expression;
cot2Bcosec2B=cos2Bsin2B1sin2B =cos2B1sin2B =(1cos2B)sin2B =sin2Bsin2B=1\cot^2B-\cosec^2B\\ = \frac{\cos^2 B}{\sin^2 B} - \frac{1}{\sin^2 B} \\ \ \\ = \frac{ \cos^2 B -1}{\sin^2 B} \\ \ \\ = \frac{ -( 1 - \cos^2B)}{\sin^2 B} \\ \ \\ =\frac{ - \cancel\sin^2 B}{\cancel\sin^2 B} = -1
