verify the trigonometric identity:
(sinx-siny/cosx+cosy)+(cosx-cosy/sinx+siny)=0
--------------------
Multiply thru by (cosx+cosy)(sinx+siny) to get:
----
(sinx-siny)(sinx+siny) + (cosx-cosy)(cosx+cosy) = 0
---
Multiply to get:
(sin^2x-sin^2y) + (cos^2x-cos^2y) = 0
---
Substitute 1-sin^2 for each sin^2 to get:
---
sin^2x-sin^2y + 1-sin^2x -(1 - sin^2y) = 0
---
Notice that the left side is zero.
