Prove that cot4theta-1=cosec4theta-2cosec2theta

Question : Prove that cot4θ-1=cosec4θ-2cosec2θ

Doubt by Utkrisht

Solution : 
cot4θ-1=cosec4θ-2cosec2θ
RHS
=cosec4θ-2cpsec2θ
=
cosec2θ(cosec2θ-2)
=(1+cot2θ)(1+cot2θ-2) [∵cosec²θ=1+cot²θ]
=1+cot2
θ(cot2θ-1)
=(1+cot2
θ)[-(1-cot2θ)]
=-(1+cot2
θ)(1-cot2θ)
=-([1]²-[cot²
θ]²) [∵(a+b)(a-b)=a²-b²]
=-(1-cot4
θ)
=-1+cot4
θ
=cot4
θ-1
= LHS
LHS=RHS
Hence Proved.
