  1. Use de Moivre's theorem to show that $$\operatorname { cosec } 5 \theta = \frac { \operatorname { cosec } ^ { 5 } \theta } { 5 \operatorname { cosec } ^ { 4 } \theta - 20 \operatorname { cosec } ^ { 2 } \theta + 16 }$$
  2. Hence obtain the roots of the equation $$x ^ { 5 } - 10 x ^ { 4 } + 40 x ^ { 2 } - 32 = 0$$ in the form \(\operatorname { cosec } ( q \pi )\), where \(q\) is rational.
