Identity # 1: sin(A + B) = sin(A)cos(B) + cos(A)sin(B)



Identity # 2: sin(A - B) = sin(A)cos(B) - cos(A)sin(B)



Subtract equations:


sin(A + B) - sin(A - B) = (sin(A)cos(B) - sin(A)cos(B)) + (cos(A)sin(B) -(- cos(A)sin(B)) )


sin(A + B) - sin(A - B) = 2cos(A)sin(B)


1/2[ sin(A + B) - sin(A - B) ] = cos(A)sin(B)



Answer: cos(A)sin(B) = 1/2[ sin(A + B) - sin(A - B) ]
