\(tan^2a+cot^2a=\left(tana+cota\right)^2-2=m^2-2\)
\(tan^4a+cot^4a=\left(tan^2a+cot^2a\right)^2-2=\left(m^2-2\right)^2-2\)
\(tan^6a+cot^6a=\left(tan^2a+cot^2a\right)^3-3\left(tan^2a+cot^2a\right)\)
\(=\left(m^2-2\right)^3-3\left(m^2-2\right)\)
\(m^2=\left(tana+cota\right)^2=\left(tana-cota\right)^2+4tana.cota\)
\(\Rightarrow m^2=\left(tana-cota\right)^2+4\ge4\)
\(\Rightarrow\left|m\right|\ge2\)
