(1) Verify the identities by working down one side of the identity or the other, or both sides of the identity. (a) cos^4(B) + 2sin^2(B) = sin^4(B) + 1 (b) tan(x) / (sec(x) - 1) = csc(x) + cot(x)

Prove each identity. a) $\frac{\sin 2 x}{\cos x}+\frac{\cos 2 x}{\sin x}=\csc x$ b) $\csc ^{2} x+\sec ^{2} x=\csc ^{2} x \sec ^{2} x$ c) $\frac{\cot x-1}{1-\tan x}=\frac{\csc x}{\sec x}$
