MHB Proving a trigonometric identity
Hi, I need help proving the following trig identity: $$\frac{\cot^2(x)-\cot(x)+1}{1-2\tan(x)+\tan^2(x)}=\frac{1+\cot^2(x)}{1+\tan^2(x)}$$ Me and my friend have spent several hours determined to figure this out, starting from the left hand side, the right hand side, and doing both together...- egillesp
