1) sin^2 a + cos^4 a - sin^4 a = sin^2 a + (1 - sin^2 a)^2 - sin^4 a = sin^2 a + 1 - 2sin^2 a + sin^4 a - sin^4 a = 1 - sin^2 a
2) (1 + sin a)(tg a + ctg a)(1 - sin a) = (1 + sin a)(sin a/cos a + cos a/sin a)(1 - sin a) = (1 + sin a)(sin^2 a + cos^2 a)/(sin a cos a)(1 - sin a) = 1/sin a = ctn a
1) sin^2 a + cos^4 a - sin^4 a = sin^2 a + (1 - sin^2 a)^2 - sin^4 a = sin^2 a + 1 - 2sin^2 a + sin^4 a - sin^4 a = 1 - sin^2 a
2) (1 + sin a)(tg a + ctg a)(1 - sin a) = (1 + sin a)(sin a/cos a + cos a/sin a)(1 - sin a) = (1 + sin a)(sin^2 a + cos^2 a)/(sin a cos a)(1 - sin a) = 1/sin a = ctn a
