(a)
Show that cos x1−sin x+sin x1−cos x=cosec x\dfrac{\mathrm{cos}\,x}{1-\mathrm{sin}\,x}+\dfrac{\mathrm{sin}\,x}{1-\mathrm{cos}\,x}=\mathrm{cosec}\,x.

(b)
Hence solve the equation cos x1−sin x+sin x1−cos x=2\dfrac{\mathrm{cos}\,x}{1-\mathrm{sin}\,x}+\dfrac{\mathrm{sin}\,x}{1-\mathrm{cos}\,x}=2 in the interval given on the paper.
