How do you prove: #(1-2sin^2(x))#//#(sin(x))=csc(x)-sin(x)#?

The given equation does not appear to be true in general.
(So any "proof" would be faulty).
...Assuming the double slashes on the left side were a typo and that division was intended

Explanation:

We are asked to prove:
#color(white)("XXX")(1-2sin^2(x))/(sin(x))=csc(x)-sin(x)#

Consider the case #x=pi/2color(white)("xx")rarrcolor(white)("xx")sin(x)=1#

L.S.
#color(white)("XXX")=(1-2sin^2(x))/(sin(x))#

#color(white)("XXX")=(1- 2 *(1)^2)/1#

#color(white)("XXX")=-1#

R.S.
#color(white)("XXX")=csc(x)-sin(x)#

#color(white)("XXX")=1/(sin(x))-sin(x)#

#color(white)("XXX")=1/1-1#

#color(white)("XXX")=0#

Since L.S.#!=#R.S. the given equation can not be proven.
