Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To prove the identity \( \cot^2 A - \tan^2 A = 4 \cot 2A \csc 2A \), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Rewrite cotangent and tangent in terms of sine and cosine We know that: \[ \cot A = \frac{\cos A}{\sin A} \quad \text{and} \quad \tan A = \frac{\sin A}{\cos A} \] Thus, we can express \( \cot^2 A \) and \( \tan^2 A \): ...
