We work with the left side:Let s = sin(A) Let c = cos(A) Factor numerator as the sum of two cubes and the trinomial in the denominator Cancel the (s+c)'s Replace s and c by what we let them be above: By a well known identity, looking at the first and third terms, the numerator becomes We break that into two fractions: In the second fraction, divide every term, top and bottom by sin(A) Cancel the sin(A)'s in the top, and the sin(A)'s in the bottom By using a well-known identity for cot(A): Edwin
