Prelims
  1. Show that \(\frac{\sin \left[ \left( n+1 \right)\theta -n\theta \right]}{\cos n\theta \cos \left( n+1 \right)\theta }=\tan \left( n+1 \right)\theta -\tan \theta \).[2]
  2. Hence find, in terms of \(n\) and \(\theta \), and expression for[3]
    \(\sec \theta \sec 2\theta +\sec 2\theta \sec 3\theta +\sec 3\theta \sec 4\theta +...+\sec n\theta \sec \left( n+1 \right)\theta \), where \(n\in {{\mathbb{Z}}^{+}}\).
