This is identical to question 1013471 done a few days ago.

Apply the definitions and simplify from that. You want to begin with everything in sines and cosines first before going through other steps.

ANSWER:

(The text to show the steps are difficult to type and then place here).
Note that you will find the need in one of the later steps that from , you will use .

You may be able to manage your own good steps based on that.
