Answer

$\cot$$^{2}$ 90$^{\circ}$ - $\sec$$^{2}$ 180$^{\circ}$ + $\csc$$^{2}$ 135$^{\circ}$ = 1

Work Step by Step

$\cot$$^{2}$ 90$^{\circ}$ - $\sec$$^{2}$ 180$^{\circ}$ + $\csc$$^{2}$ 135$^{\circ}$ $\cot$ 90$^{\circ}$ = 0 $\sec$ 180$^{\circ}$ = -1 $\csc$ 135$^{\circ}$ = $\csc$ 135$^{\circ}$(In Quadrant II) =$\sqrt2$ Therefore: = 0$^{2}$ - (-1)$^{2}$ + ($\sqrt2$)$^{2}$ = -1 + 2 = 1 $\cot$$^{2}$ 90$^{\circ}$ - $\sec$$^{2}$ 180$^{\circ}$ + $\csc$$^{2}$ 135$^{\circ}$ = 1
