a.

Use the identity cos⁡2θ+sin⁡2θ=1\cos^2\theta + \sin^2\theta = 1cos2θ+sin2θ=1 to prove that cosec2θ=1+cot⁡2θ\text{cosec}^2\theta = 1 + \cot^2\thetacosec2θ=1+cot2θ.

b.

Solve, for 0≤θ≤2π0 \leq \theta \leq 2\pi0≤θ≤2π, the equation,

cosec2θ+cot⁡2θ=7 \text{cosec}^2\theta + \cot^2\theta = 7 cosec2θ+cot2θ=7

Give your answers in terms of π\piπ.
