  1. By differentiating \(\frac { \cos x } { \sin x }\), show that if \(y = \cot x\) then \(\frac { \mathrm { d } y } { \mathrm {~d} x } = - \operatorname { cosec } ^ { 2 } x\).
  2. Show that \(\int _ { \frac { 1 } { 4 } \pi } ^ { \frac { 1 } { 2 } \pi } x \operatorname { cosec } ^ { 2 } x \mathrm {~d} x = \frac { 1 } { 4 } ( \pi + \ln 4 )\).
    \(7 \quad\) Two lines \(l\) and \(m\) have equations \(\mathbf { r } = a \mathbf { i } + 2 \mathbf { j } + 3 \mathbf { k } + \lambda ( \mathbf { i } - 2 \mathbf { j } + 3 \mathbf { k } )\) and \(\mathbf { r } = 2 \mathbf { i } + \mathbf { j } + 2 \mathbf { k } + \mu ( 2 \mathbf { i } - \mathbf { j } + \mathbf { k } )\) respectively, where \(a\) is a constant. It is given that the lines intersect.
