If $\cos x + \sec x = -2$,then for a positive integer $n$,$\cos^n x + \sec^n x$ is

Evaluate the sum: $\sum \frac{1}{1 + x^{a - b} + x^{a - c}}$

For non-negative integers $n$,let $f(n) = \frac{\sum_{k=0}^n \sin \left(\frac{k+1}{n+2} \pi\right) \sin \left(\frac{k+2}{n+2} \pi\right)}{\sum_{k=0}^n \sin ^2\left(\frac{k+1}{n+2} \pi\right)}$. Assuming $\cos ^{-1} x$ takes values in $[0, \pi]$,which of the following options is/are correct?
$(1)$ $\sin \left(7 \cos ^{-1} f(5)\right)=0$
$(2)$ $f(4)=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$
$(3)$ $\lim _{n \rightarrow \infty} f(n)=\frac{1}{2}$
$(4)$ If $\alpha=\tan \left(\cos ^{-1} f(6)\right)$,then $\alpha^2+2 \alpha-1=0$

If $\sin \theta + \operatorname{cosec} \theta = 2$,then the value of $\sin^{10} \theta + \operatorname{cosec}^{10} \theta$ is equal to

Let $S = \{\theta \in [0, 2\pi] : 8^{2 \sin^2 \theta} + 8^{2 \cos^2 \theta} = 16\}$. Then $n(S) + \sum_{\theta \in S} \left(\sec \left(\frac{\pi}{4} + 2\theta\right) \operatorname{cosec} \left(\frac{\pi}{4} + 2\theta\right)\right)$ is equal to.
