We can use the sum/difference formulas for cosine to simplify the expression to



Note that the expression is equal to zero, because if you were to draw all the angles on a unit circle, you would see that there are corresponding pairs of angles that add up to zero, since cos x = -cos (pi - x). The denominator of the fraction is some positive number because the sine of each angle is either positive or zero. Therefore the entire expression is equal to .
