Answer

$\dfrac{\cos^{2}v}{\sin v}=\csc v-\sin v$

Work Step by Step

$\dfrac{\cos^{2}v}{\sin v}=\csc v-\sin v$ On the right side of the equation, substitute $\csc v$ with $\dfrac{1}{\sin v}$: $\dfrac{\cos^{2}v}{\sin v}=\dfrac{1}{\sin v}-\sin v$ Evaluate the difference on the right side of the equation: $\dfrac{\cos^{2}v}{\sin v}=\dfrac{1-\sin^{2}v}{\sin v}$ Since $1-\sin^{2}v=\cos^{2}v$, this identity is proved: $\dfrac{\cos^{2}v}{\sin v}=\dfrac{\cos^{2}v}{\sin v}$
