2.

(i) Use the substitution \(t = \tan\dfrac{x}{2}\) to prove the identity\[\frac{\sin x - \cos x + 1}{\sin x + \cos x - 1} \equiv \sec x + \tan x \qquad x \neq \frac{n\pi}{2} \quad n \in \mathbb{Z}\] (5)
(ii) Use the substitution \(t = \tan\dfrac{\theta}{2}\) to determine the exact value of\[\int_0^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \frac{5}{4 + 2\cos\theta}\,\mathrm{d}\theta\]giving your answer in simplest form. (5)
