Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To prove the identity \( \cot A \cot 2A - \cot 2A \cot 3A - \cot 3A \cot A = 1 \), we will use the cotangent addition formula and properties of cotangent. ### Step 1: Rewrite \( \cot 3A \) Using the cotangent addition formula, we can express \( \cot 3A \) as: \[ \cot 3A = \cot(2A + A) = \frac{\cot 2A \cot A - 1}{\cot 2A + \cot A} \] ...
