To solve the given trigonometric identity, we can use the Pythagorean identity for cosecant and cotangent. Specifically, we know that:
\[
(\csc(x))^2 = 1 + (\cot(x))^2
\]
Using this identity, we can simplify the given expression.
Step 1: Define the Expression
We start with the expression given in the problem:
\[
(\csc(x))^2 - (\cot(x))^2
\]
Step 2: Apply the Pythagorean Identity
Using the identity \( (\csc(x))^2 = 1 + (\cot(x))^2 \), we can rewrite the expression:
\[
(\csc(x))^2 - (\cot(x))^2 = (1 + (\cot(x))^2) - (\cot(x))^2
\]
Step 3: Simplify the Expression
Upon simplifying, we find:
\[
1 + (\cot(x))^2 - (\cot(x))^2 = 1
\]
Final Answer
Thus, the simplified expression is:
\[
\boxed{1}
\]
