We will be using a Trigonometric identity to prove this-
#color(blue)(sin(2x) = 2sinxcosx#

The left hand side is # 4csc2x#

# = 4/(sin2x)# (Because #cscx = 1/sinx#)

# = 4/(2sinxcosx)#

# = color(green)(2/(sinxcosx)#

The right hand side is #2 csc^2x tan x#

# = 2*(1/sin^2x)*(sinx/cosx)# (Because #tanx = sinx/cosx#)

# = color(green)(2/(sinxcosx)#

Hence proved.
