To prove:

(1+1tan2A)(1+1cot2A)=1sin2Asin4A\Big(1 + \dfrac{1}{\text{tan}^2 A}\Big)\Big(1 + \dfrac{1}{\text{cot}^2 A}\Big) = \dfrac{1}{\text{sin}^2 A - \text{sin}^4 A}

Solving L.H.S. of the above equation :

(1+1tan2A)(1+1cot2A)(1+tan2Atan2A)(1+cot2Acot2A)(sec2Atan2A)(cosec2Acot2A)1cos2Asin2Acos2A×1sin2Acos2Asin2A1sin2A×1cos2A1sin2A cos2A.\Rightarrow \Big(1 + \dfrac{1}{\text{tan}^2 A}\Big)\Big(1 + \dfrac{1}{\text{cot}^2 A}\Big) \\[1em] \Rightarrow \Big(\dfrac{1 + \text{tan}^2 A}{\text{tan}^2 A}\Big)\Big(\dfrac{1 + \text{cot}^2 A}{\text{cot}^2 A}\Big) \\[1em] \Rightarrow \Big(\dfrac{\text{sec}^2 A}{\text{tan}^2 A}\Big)\Big(\dfrac{\text{cosec}^2 A}{\text{cot}^2 A}\Big) \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{\dfrac{1}{\text{cos}^2 A}}{\dfrac{\text{sin}^2 A}{\text{cos}^2 A}} \times \dfrac{\dfrac{1}{\text{sin}^2 A}}{\dfrac{\text{cos}^2 A}{\text{sin}^2 A}} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{\text{sin}^2 A} \times \dfrac{1}{\text{cos}^2 A} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{\text{sin}^2 A\text{ cos}^2 A}.

Solving R.H.S. of the equation :

1sin2Asin4A1sin2A(1sin2A)1sin2A cos2A.\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{\text{sin}^2 A - \text{sin}^4 A} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{\text{sin}^2 A(1 - \text{sin}^2 A)} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{\text{sin}^2 A\text{ cos}^2 A}.

Since, L.H.S. = R.H.S. = 1sin2A cos2A.\dfrac{1}{\text{sin}^2 A\text{ cos}^2 A}.

Hence, proved that (1+1tan2A)(1+1cot2A)=1sin2Asin4A\Big(1 + \dfrac{1}{\text{tan}^2 A}\Big)\Big(1 + \dfrac{1}{\text{cot}^2 A}\Big) = \dfrac{1}{\text{sin}^2 A - \text{sin}^4 A}
