Use parentheses where required.

In both the original expressions and in the work you show, we can't tell what the actual expressions are. Here are what the first original expression look like when you write it without parentheses, as you did:

2+sin%5E2a+-+1%2Fsina+%2B+cosa

The other expression has similar problems.

Re-post your question, making it clear what the original expressions are.
