$color(blue)(=> (cos^3 theta - cos^2 theta -cos theta) / (1 - cos^2 theta)$

$sin^2 theta - cot^2 theta - sec theta$

$=> sin^2 theta - cos^2 theta / sin^2 theta - 1 / cos theta$

$=> (sin^4 theta - cos^3 theta - sin^2 theta ) / (sin^2 theta cos theta)$

$=> ((1-cos^2 theta)^2 - cos ^3 theta - (1 - cos^2 theta)) / ((1 - cos^2 theta) * cos theta)$

$=> (cancel1 - 2 cos^2 theta + cos^4 theta - cos^3 theta - cancel1 + cos^2 theta) / (cos theta * (1 - cos^2 theta))$

$=> (cos^4 theta - cos^3 theta - cos^2 theta) / (cos theta * (1 - cos^2 theta))$

$color(blue)(=> (cos^3 theta - cos^2 theta -cos theta) / (1 - cos^2 theta)$
