$$\,3{\left( {\sin x - \cos x} \right)^4} + 6{\left( {\sin x + \cos x} \right)^2} + 4\left( {{{\sin }^6}x + {{\cos }^6}x} \right) = $$

The general values of $$\theta $$ satisfying the equation $$2{\sin ^2}\theta - 3\sin \theta - 2 = 0$$ is

Let $$2{\sin ^2}x + 3\sin x - 2 > 0$$ and $${x^2} - x - 2 < 0$$ ($$x$$ is measured in radians). Then $$x$$ lies in the interval

Let $$0 < x < {\pi \over 4}$$ then $$\left( {\sec 2x - \tan 2x} \right)$$ equals
