If $\displaystyle \tan \mathrm{A}+\cot \mathrm{A}=6$, then find the value of $\displaystyle \tan ^{2} \mathrm{~A}+\cot ^{2} \mathrm{~A}-4$.
Marking-scheme solution
\(\displaystyle (\tan \mathrm{A}+\cot \mathrm{A})^{2}=36\)
\(\displaystyle \tan ^{2} \mathrm{~A}+\cot ^{2} \mathrm{~A}+2 \tan \mathrm{~A} \cot \mathrm{~A}=36\)
\(\displaystyle \tan ^{2} \mathrm{~A}+\cot ^{2} \mathrm{~A}=34\)
\(\displaystyle \therefore \tan ^{2} \mathrm{~A}+\cot ^{2} \mathrm{~A}-4=30\)
