  1. Prove that \(\tan \theta + \cot \theta \equiv \frac { 2 } { \sin 2 \theta }\).
  2. Hence
    (a) find the exact value of \(\tan \frac { 1 } { 8 } \pi + \cot \frac { 1 } { 8 } \pi\),
    (b) evaluate \(\int _ { 0 } ^ { \frac { 1 } { 2 } \pi } \frac { 6 } { \tan \theta + \cot \theta } \mathrm { d } \theta\).
