1. Problem Description

The problem asks to simplify the expression sin(2α)cot(α)2\sin(2\alpha) \cdot \frac{\cot(\alpha)}{2}.

2. Solution Steps

First, we can express sin(2α)\sin(2\alpha) in terms of sin(α)\sin(\alpha) and cos(α)\cos(\alpha) using the double angle identity:
sin(2α)=2sin(α)cos(α)\sin(2\alpha) = 2\sin(\alpha)\cos(\alpha)
Next, we can express cot(α)\cot(\alpha) in terms of sin(α)\sin(\alpha) and cos(α)\cos(\alpha):
cot(α)=cos(α)sin(α)\cot(\alpha) = \frac{\cos(\alpha)}{\sin(\alpha)}
Now, substitute these expressions into the original equation:
2sin(α)cos(α)cos(α)sin(α)22\sin(\alpha)\cos(\alpha) \cdot \frac{\frac{\cos(\alpha)}{\sin(\alpha)}}{2}
Simplify the expression:
2sin(α)cos(α)cos(α)2sin(α)2\sin(\alpha)\cos(\alpha) \cdot \frac{\cos(\alpha)}{2\sin(\alpha)}
We can cancel out the common factors 22 and sin(α)\sin(\alpha) (assuming sin(α)0\sin(\alpha) \ne 0):
cos(α)cos(α)\cos(\alpha) \cdot \cos(\alpha)
This simplifies to:
cos2(α)\cos^2(\alpha)

3. Final Answer

cos2(α)\cos^2(\alpha)
