Applying factoring to simplify my trigonometric expression

The video tutorial focuses on simplifying trigonometric expressions using algebraic processes and identities. It begins with an introduction to simplification, emphasizing the use of algebraic operations like factoring. The instructor then demonstrates how to factor expressions and apply trigonometric identities, such as converting cosecant squared minus one using cotangent squared. The tutorial further explores simplification using the quotient identity, leading to a final expression of cosine squared. Alternative methods are discussed, and the session concludes with a Q&A.
