    [9tan (θ) * 9cot (θ) ] / 9sec (θ)

    First cancel out the 9's:

    tan (θ) cot (θ) / sec (θ)

    Recall the following trig identities:

    tan = sin/cos

    cot = cos/sin

    sec = 1/cos

    Thus, we can rewrite the expression as:

    [ (Sin (θ) / cos (θ)) * (cos (θ) / sin (θ)) ] / (1/cos (θ))

    In the numerator, the sine's and cosine's cancel each other out:

    1 / (1/cos (θ))

    which we can rewrite as cos (θ).
