    First, you ned to apply parentheses because it's not at all clear what the equation is. What you wrote is this:



    but I suspect that what you probably meant is this:




    Second - what's your question?

    If you convert the cot(x) and csc(x) functions to their sine and cosine equivalents many terms cancel out and you can simplify this quite a bit. Also look for opportunitoes to use fundamental identities such as sin^2x + cos^2x = 1 (and its alternative arrangements such as 1- cos^2x = sin^2x). Post back with what you get for a simplified expression.
