How to prove the identity? Answer by Edwin McCravy(20060) (Show Source):
There is no online calculator that will solve identities
like this:
Let's get the right tools:
There are two formulas for
which don't involve square roots. They are:
and
and since the cotangent is the reciprocal of the tangent, we can
make two formulas from them for
and
Let's pick two of them for the right side of the identity which
have the same denominator so they'll be easy to add. Pick the
ones with sin(x) denominators to substitute in the right side
of the identity, which is:
Substituting:
