  1. Prove the identity \(\frac { 1 + \cos \theta } { 1 - \cos \theta } - \frac { 1 - \cos \theta } { 1 + \cos \theta } \equiv \frac { 4 } { \sin \theta \tan \theta }\).
  2. Hence solve, for \(0 ^ { \circ } < \theta < 360 ^ { \circ }\), the equation $$\sin \theta \left( \frac { 1 + \cos \theta } { 1 - \cos \theta } - \frac { 1 - \cos \theta } { 1 + \cos \theta } \right) = 3 .$$
