Simplify the expression by following steps:
- step0: Solution:
\(\tan^{2}\left(x\right)\left(\frac{1}{\tan^{2}\left(x\right)}-1\right)\)
- step1: Subtract the terms:
\(\tan^{2}\left(x\right)\times \frac{1-\tan^{2}\left(x\right)}{\tan^{2}\left(x\right)}\)
- step2: Reduce the fraction:
\(1\times \left(1-\tan^{2}\left(x\right)\right)\)

\(1-\tan^{2}\left(x\right)\)
- step4: Calculate:
\(1-\sec^{2}\left(x\right)+1\)
- step5: Calculate:
\(2-\sec^{2}\left(x\right)\)
To prove that
\[
\tan^{2} x\left(\frac{1}{\tan^{2} x}-1\right)=\frac{\cos 2x}{\cos^{2} x},
\]
we will simplify both sides and show that they are equal.
### Step 1: Simplifying the Left Side
Starting with the left side:
\[
\tan^{2} x\left(\frac{1}{\tan^{2} x}-1\right).
\]
We can rewrite this as:
\[
\tan^{2} x \left(\frac{1 - \tan^{2} x}{\tan^{2} x}\right) = \frac{\tan^{2} x (1 - \tan^{2} x)}{\tan^{2} x} = 1 - \tan^{2} x.
\]
Using the identity \( \tan^{2} x = \frac{\sin^{2} x}{\cos^{2} x} \), we can express \( 1 - \tan^{2} x \) as:
\[
1 - \frac{\sin^{2} x}{\cos^{2} x} = \frac{\cos^{2} x - \sin^{2} x}{\cos^{2} x} = \frac{\cos(2x)}{\cos^{2} x}.
\]
Thus, the left side simplifies to:
\[
\frac{\cos(2x)}{\cos^{2} x}.
\]
### Step 2: Simplifying the Right Side
Now, let's simplify the right side:
\[
\frac{\cos 2x}{\cos^{2} x}.
\]
This expression is already in its simplest form.
### Conclusion
Since both sides simplify to the same expression:
\[
\tan^{2} x\left(\frac{1}{\tan^{2} x}-1\right) = \frac{\cos 2x}{\cos^{2} x},
\]
we have proven the statement.
