Question

If cot4x+cot2x=1cot^4x + cot^2x = 1​, then the value of cosec4xcosec2xcosec^4x - cosec^2x is:

A.

1

B.

2

C.

4

D.

-1

Correct option is A

Given: 

cot4x+cot2x=1 \cot^4 x + \cot^2 x = 1​​

Concept Used; 

cosec2x=1+cot2x\cosec^2 x = 1 + \cot^2 x 

cosec2x - 1 = cot2x  

(a -b)2​ = a2+ b2-2ab

Solution: 

cot4x+cot2x=1 \cot^4 x + \cot^2 x = 1 

(cot2x)cot2x+cot2x=1 (cosec2x1)2+cosec2x1=1 cosec4x+12cosec2x+cosec2x1=1 cosec4xcosec2x+11=1 cosec4xcosec2x=1(\cot^2x)\cot^2x + \cot^2x = 1 \\ \ \\ (\cosec^2x-1)^2+ \cosec^2x - 1 = 1 \\ \ \\ \cosec^4x + 1 -2\cosec^2x + \cosec^2x -1 = 1\\ \ \\ \cosec^4x - \cosec^2x +1-1 = 1\\ \ \\ \cosec^4x - \cosec^2x = 1
