Please help me out with this 4 trigonometrytan problems?

1) tanθ + tanα / cotθ + cotα = tanθ × tanα

2) SinA/2 × Sin7A/2 + Sin3A/2 × Sin11A/2 = Sin2A × Sin5A

3) ( Cos3A + Cos5A ) + ( Cos7A + Cos15A )

Please Solve All Three problems

10 points guarantee

Update:

For the third problem

( Cos3A + Cos5A ) + ( Cos7A + Cos15A ) = 4 cos4A × Cos5A × cos6A

     (tanθ + tanα) / (cotθ + cotα)

    = [sinθ/cosθ + sinα/cosα] / [cosθ/sinθ + cosα/sinα]

    = [(sinθcosα +cosθsinα)/cosθcosα] / [(sinαcosθ + cosαsinθ)/sinθsinα]

    = [sin(θ + α)/cosθcosα] / [sin(α + θ)/sinθsinα]

    = sinθsinα / cosθcosα

    = tanθ⋅tanα

     sin(A/2)⋅sin(7A/2) + sin(3A/2)⋅sin(11A/2)

    = sin(7A/2)⋅sin(A/2) + sin(11A/2)⋅sin(3A/2)

    = (-1/2)[cos(4A) - cos(3A)] + (-1/2)[cos(7A) - cos(4A)]

    = (-1/2)[cos(7A) - cos(3A)]

    = (-1/2)(-2)[sin(5A)⋅sin(2A)]

    = sin(2A)⋅sin(5A)

     (cos3A + cos5A) + (cos7A + cos15A)

    = (cos15A + cos3A) + (cos7A + cos5A)

    = 2⋅cos9A⋅cos6A + 2⋅cos6A⋅cosA

    = 2⋅(cos9A + cosA)⋅cos6A

    = 2⋅2⋅cos5A⋅cos4A⋅cos6A

    = 4⋅cos4A⋅cos5A⋅cos6A
