Prove cosec2A-cot2A=tanA

Cosec2A - cot2A= tanA
Left hand side=1/sin2A - cos2A/sin2A
=(1- cos2A)/sin2A
=(1-(1- 2 sin^2⁡ A)/ 2sinAcosA
=(1-1 + ( 2 sin^2⁡ A))/ 2sinAcosA
=sinA/cosA
=tanA
Therefore ...

A curve is defined by parametric equations: x = t^(2) + 2, and y = t(4-t^(2)). Find dy/dx in terms of t, hence, define the gradient of the curve at the point where t = 2.

dy/dx = (dy/dt)/(dx/dt) y = t(4-t²), then using differentiation of y with respect to t, dy/dt = 4 - 3t²x = t² + 2, then...
