8. (a) Prove that $$\text { 2cosec } 2 A - \cot A \equiv \tan A , \quad A \neq \frac { n \pi } { 2 } , n \in \mathbb { Z }$$ (b) Hence solve, for \(0 \leqslant \theta \leqslant \frac { \pi } { 2 }\)
  1. \(2 \operatorname { cosec } 4 \theta - \cot 2 \theta = \sqrt { } 3\)
  2. \(\tan \theta + \cot \theta = 5\) Give your answers to 3 significant figures.
