The variables x and θ satisfy the differential equation
xsin2θdθdx=tan2θ−2cotθ,
for 0<θ<21π and x>0. It is given that x=2 when θ=41π.
(a) Show that
dθd(cot2θ)=−sin2θ2cotθ.
(You may assume without proof that the derivative of cotθ with respect to θ is −cosec2θ.)
(1)
(b) Solve the differential equation and find the value of x when θ=61π.

变量 x 和 θ 满足微分方程
xsin2θdθdx=tan2θ−2cotθ,
其中 0<θ<21π 且 x>0。已知当 θ=41π 时,x=2。
(a) 证明
dθd(cot2θ)=−sin2θ2cotθ.
(可直接使用 cotθ 关于 θ 的导数为 −cosec2θ,无须证明。)
