Prove that:
cosec4θ−cot4θ≡1+2cot2θ\text{cosec}^4 \theta - \cot^4 \theta \equiv 1 + 2\cot^2 \thetacosec4θ−cot4θ≡1+2cot2θ
Hence solve, for 0≤θ≤3600 \leq \theta \leq 3600≤θ≤360, the equation,
cosec4θ−cot4θ=7 \text{cosec}^4 \theta - \cot^4 \theta = 7 cosec4θ−cot4θ=7Practise AQA A Level Maths 1.8 E: Trigonometry with exam-style questions for A Level Maths. 239 questions covering 1.8.1 Trigonometric definitions, rules and radians, 1.8.2 Small angle approximations (A-level only), 1.8.3 Trigonometric functions and exact values, 1.8.4 Reciprocal and inverse trigonometric functions (A-level only), 1.8.5 Trigonometric identities, 1.8.6 Compound and double angle formulae (A-level only), 1.8.7 Solving trigonometric equations, 1.8.8 Proofs with trigonometric identities, and 1.8.9 Trigonometry in context, matched to the AQA A Level Maths (7357) specification and written in Paper 1, Paper 2 and Paper 3 style.
