Using the sum of angles identities: 
cos(3π/2+x) = cos(3π/2)cos(x) - sin(3π/2)sin(x) = sin(x) 
cos(2π+x) = cos(x) 
cot(3π/2-x) = [cot(3π/2)cot(x) + 1]/[cot(x) - cot(3π/2) = 1/cot(x) = tan(x) 
cot(2π+x) = cot(x) 

Substituting into the original equation: 
cos(3π/2+x)cos(2π+x) [cot(3π/2-x) + cot(2π + x)] = 1
sin(x)cos(x)[tan(x)+cot(x)] = 1 
sin(x)cos(x)[sin(x)/cos(x) + cos(x)/sin(x)] = 1 
sin²x + cos²x = 1
