Answer

a3 - b3 = (a - b)3 + 3ab(a - b)

∴ L.H.S. of the equation can be written as,

⇒ cosec6 A - cot6 A = (cosec2 A - cot2 A )3 + 3cosec2 A cot2 A(cosec2 A - cot2 A)

⇒ 13 + 3cosec2 A cot2 A × 1
⇒ 1 + 3cosec2 A cot2 A

Since, L.H.S. = R.H.S. hence, proved that cosec6 A - cot6 A = 3cot2 A cosec2 A + 1.
