Answer

$ \sin\theta$

Work Step by Step

Given expression is- $\csc\theta - \cot\theta\cos\theta$ = $\frac{1}{\sin\theta} - \frac{\cos\theta}{\sin\theta}\times\cos\theta$ = $\frac{1}{\sin\theta} - \frac{\cos^{2}\theta}{\sin\theta}$ =$ \frac{1 - \cos^{2}\theta}{\sin\theta} $ = $\frac{\sin^{2}\theta}{\sin\theta}$ [From first Pythagorean identity, $ (1 - \cos^{2}\theta)$ can be written as $\sin^{2}\theta$] = $ \sin\theta$
