a.

For sin⁡θ≠0\sin \theta \neq 0sinθ=0 and cos⁡θ≠0\cos \theta \neq 0cosθ=0, prove that

cosec 2θ−cot⁡2θ=tan⁡θ \text{cosec } 2\theta - \cot 2\theta = \tan \theta cosec 2θ−cot2θ=tanθ
[3]
b.

Explain why the identity cosec 2θ−cot⁡2θ=tan⁡θ\text{cosec } 2\theta - \cot 2\theta = \tan \thetacosec 2θ−cot2θ=tanθ is not valid when sin⁡θ=0\sin \theta = 0sinθ=0.
