prove cosec2A+ cot4A = cotA - cosec4A
Answer :
We have : Cosec 2 A + Cot 4 A = Cosec 4 A - Cot 2 A
Taking LHS :
Cosec 2 A + Cot 4 A
Cosec 2 A + ( Cot 2 A )2
Cosec 2 A + ( Cosec 2 A - 1 )2 ( we know : 1 + Cot 2 = Cosec 2 )
Cosec 2 A + Cosec 4 A + 1 - 2 Cosec 2 A
Cosec 4 A + 1 - Cosec 2 A
Cosec 4 A + 1 - ( 1 + Cot 2 A)
Cosec 4 A + 1 - 1 - Cot 2 A
Cosec 4 A - Cot 2 A
LHS = RHS ( Hence proved )
