(i) Differentiate \(\frac{1}{\sin^2 \theta}\) with respect to \(\theta\).
(ii) The variables \(x\) and \(\theta\) satisfy the differential equation \(x \tan \theta \frac{dx}{d\theta} + \csc^2 \theta = 0\), for \(0 < \theta < \frac{1}{2}\pi\) and \(x > 0\). It is given that \(x = 4\) when \(\theta = \frac{1}{6}\pi\). Solve the differential equation, obtaining an expression for \(x\) in terms of \(\theta\).
